About Fujifilm RAW (RAF)
RAF is the RAW format of Fujifilm cameras, including those with X-Trans sensors.
Fujifilm X and GFX series cameras.
X-Trans sensors use a colour filter pattern unlike the usual Bayer layout, so RAF files develop differently from one converter to another.

Why does my Fujifilm RAF file take so long to open in my editor? Fujifilm writes an unusual compressed RAW layout that many programs decode slowly or not at all — converting to JPG or DNG makes editing instant.
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 RAF to PNG
- The RAF is turned into a single finished PNG picture; extra data a RAF file can hold, such as RAW sensor data, layers or additional images, does not carry over.
- The RAF 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.
