What happens to 100 GB of RAW?

On a representative Nikon ZR 6K Source clip, each quality mode made the file smaller while keeping a RAW output.

What it does

RAW in. Smaller RAW out.

RRAWK compresses and resizes supported Nikon RAW video on your PC — without baking to conventional rendered video.

Smaller RAW files

Compress at the original resolution and keep your supported RAW workflow.

Resize while staying RAW

Create a smaller-resolution RAW file instead of converting your footage to conventional rendered video.

Native preview

Preview supported RAW clips directly inside RRAWK.

GPU acceleration

NVIDIA CUDA and AMD acceleration on validated routes, with CPU processing where applicable.

Your footage stays on your PC.RRAWK processes supported RAW footage locally. Core preview and conversion work without an Internet connection.

Quality modes

Lossless · Pure · Prime

Public V1 qualities are exactly these three. Availability depends on the supported source workflow.

Lossless

Keep the supported Source RAW coefficients unchanged while reducing file overhead.

Available only for specific supported Source workflows. Not a resize path.

Pure

Higher quality with moderate storage savings.

Prime

Stronger compression for much smaller RAW files while keeping the RAW workflow.

Performance

GPU when it helps. CPU when it must.

Acceleration depends on camera, source format, and output mode. Not every workflow is GPU-accelerated on every vendor.

NVIDIA CUDA

Hardware acceleration is available for supported NVIDIA workflows.

AMD

AMD GPU acceleration is available on validated routes. Availability depends on camera, source format, and output mode.

CPU

CPU processing remains available where applicable.

In selected validated AMD Source tests on Radeon RX 7600 XT, RRAWK reached up to ~8× faster than CPU. Results are route-dependent; actual performance varies with hardware, source, and mode.
