What is an .NEF file?
NEF files are raw images captured by Nikon digital cameras. These images are saved in an uncompressed Nikon RAW format in order to maintain the highest image quality. The images also store metadata about the image and the camera used to capture the image. Since raw images store uncompressed data, they can be more accurately edited, which is one reason professional photographers often prefer working with them.
Even if you are not a Nikon photographer, you may still encounter an NEF file. You might receive an NEF image from a friend or download it from an image-sharing website. In either case, File Viewer Plus is a great tool for opening and editing NEF images. You can also convert them to one of several more common image formats.
