Need help?RAF to DivX Converter
RAF is Fujifilm's raw photo format and DivX is a video codec, so this is a still-to-video conversion: one raw frame becomes a short, silent DivX clip that simply holds your photo on screen for a set duration. It does not animate the image — it wraps the demosaiced still in an MPEG-4 video stream so it plays in DivX-era media players and set-top boxes. If you just want a viewable picture, convert RAF to JPG instead; if you want a clip that plays on modern phones and browsers, RAF to MP4 is the more universal choice.
RAF Format at a Glance
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Full name | Raw Image File (Fujifilm RAW) |
| Type | Still-image raw sensor data |
| Vendor | Fujifilm |
| Sensor / CFA | Bayer on older models; X-Trans (non-Bayer) on most X-series, which needs specialized demosaicing |
| Bit depth | Up to 14-bit per channel on X-Trans models (16,384 levels) |
| Compression | Lossless |
| MIME type | image/x-fuji-raf |
| Typical size | ~25-50 MB (APS-C X-series), 100 MB+ (GFX) |
| Best for | Archival of unprocessed captures; editing latitude in raw developers |
DivX Format at a Glance
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Codec basis | MPEG-4 Part 2, Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) |
| Container | AVI, or the DivX Media Format (.divx) |
| Related codec | Same MPEG-4 ASP family as Xvid (shared OpenDivX origin) |
| Origin | Released as OpenDivX in January 2001; latest codec line 6.9.x |
| Audio in this job | None — RAF is a still image, so the output is silent |
| Status | Legacy; superseded by H.264/H.265 for almost all modern playback |
| Best for | Older DivX-certified DVD/Blu-ray players and legacy media-center setups |
How to Convert RAF to DivX
- Upload Your RAF File: Drag and drop your
.raffile or click "+ Add Files." You can add several raws and choose Merge images for one combined clip or Video per image for a separate clip each. - Set Image Duration: Use the Image Duration dropdown (e.g. "5 seconds per frame") to choose how long the still is held on screen, since there is no motion to time it against.
- Pick Background Color and Resolution: Set the Background Color (default Black) shown behind any letterboxing, then choose a Video resolution preset or keep the original aspect ratio; the Quality Preset controls bitrate.
- Convert and Download: Click "Convert" to get your DivX file. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours. No sign-up, no watermark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this turn my RAF photo into a moving video?
No. A single RAF holds one moment, so the output is a static clip that shows that one image for the duration you set. To get actual motion you would need multiple frames — upload a sequence of raws and use Merge images so each photo plays in turn, like a slideshow.
Will the DivX clip have any sound?
No. RAF is a raw still image with no audio track, so the converter produces a silent DivX video. The Audio Codec option is hidden for image-to-video jobs because there is nothing to encode.
Do I lose the raw editing latitude when converting to DivX?
Yes. RAF stores up to 14-bit lossless sensor data with wide highlight and shadow latitude, but a DivX video stream is 8-bit and lossy. The X-Trans data is demosaiced and baked into the frame, so you cannot recover raw adjustments afterward. Keep the original .raf if you may want to re-edit it.
Why would anyone convert a raw photo to DivX instead of MP4?
Almost the only reason is a legacy DivX-certified DVD or Blu-ray player or an older media center that lists DivX/Xvid (MPEG-4 ASP) but not H.264. For phones, browsers, and current TVs, RAF to MP4 with H.264 plays far more widely and usually at a smaller size.
How long does my uploaded RAF stay on your servers?
Your file is sent over an encrypted (TLS) connection, processed on our servers, and then deleted automatically after a few hours. We do not require an account, we do not watermark the output, and files are never shared or made public.
What if I just want a normal viewable image from my RAF?
Then skip video entirely. Use RAF to JPG for a compact, universally viewable photo, or the RAF converter to pick other still formats like PNG or TIFF. In our testing, a JPG export of an X-series raw opens directly in any browser or image viewer, whereas a DivX clip needs a compatible video player.
