Quality modes
Public V1 qualities are exactly these three. Availability depends on the supported source workflow.
Keep the supported Source RAW coefficients unchanged while reducing file overhead.
Available only for specific supported Source workflows. Not a resize path.
Higher quality with moderate storage savings.
Stronger compression for much smaller RAW files while keeping the RAW workflow.
Performance
Acceleration depends on camera, source format, and output mode. Not every workflow is GPU-accelerated on every vendor.
Hardware acceleration is available for supported NVIDIA workflows.
AMD GPU acceleration is available on validated routes. Availability depends on camera, source format, and output mode.
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.

V1 covers specific modes on Nikon ZR, Z8, Z6 III, and a single Z9 NEV mode. See the compatibility matrix for exact resolutions and frame rates.
Yes. Supported conversion and resize workflows create RAW output, not conventional rendered video.
Lossless keeps supported Source RAW coefficients unchanged while reducing file overhead; it is available only for specific Source workflows. Pure favors higher quality with moderate savings. Prime uses stronger compression for smaller RAW files.
Yes, but GPU acceleration depends on the exact workflow. NVIDIA CUDA and validated AMD routes are supported, with CPU processing where applicable.
RRAWK 1.0 ships without a code signature. Windows may show “Windows protected your PC.” If you downloaded from the official RRAWK website, choose More info → Run anyway. You can also verify the published SHA-256.
