ORF is the RAW format of Olympus cameras, now made under the OM System brand, holding the undeveloped sensor data.
Olympus and OM System Micro Four Thirds cameras.

Why can't I open my Olympus ORF photos in my usual editor? ORF is a camera-specific RAW layout, and editors only read the brands their developers tested — converting to JPG or DNG opens the photos anywhere.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
What changes when you convert ORF to PNG
- The ORF is turned into a single finished PNG picture; extra data a ORF file can hold, such as RAW sensor data, layers or additional images, does not carry over.
- The ORF sensor data is developed into a finished PNG picture with default settings; the extra room a RAW file gives for later exposure and white-balance edits does not carry over.
- RAW demosaicing is best-effort; results vary by camera.
