What is an .SFW file?

SFW files are images saved in the proprietary Seattle FilmWorks (SFW) raster format. In the 1990s, Seattle FilmWorks processed photographs captured on film by customers, digitized them as SFW files, and placed them on floppy disks or CDs, which the customers could insert into their computers to view the images. Seattle FilmWorks was sold to PhotoWorks in 1999 and closed shortly after.

While SFW files are no longer used to save photographs, you may still encounter the files when digging through old images on your computer. You may also acquire an SFW file from a friend or family member looking to share an old photograph. You can use File Viewer Plus to open and edit SFW images or convert them to widely supported image formats, such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, and BMP.
