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