How to open file with .ORF extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .ORF file? Do you want to convert a .ORF file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .ORF

Full Name Developer Category
Olympus Digital Camera Raw Image Format Olympus Camera Raw Files
.ORF

ORF is the file extension for images created with Olympus digital cameras. Pictures saved in this format are typically in the Olympus RAW File Format, and contain a significant amount of additional information from the camera settings when the photo was taken. This supplemental data includes tracking information, white balance settings, and image stabilization data. The ORF format was first introduced with the Olympus E-1 SLR in 2003, and has been used in a number of other Olympus camera lines such as the E-3, E-30, and E-5.

The Olympus RAW file format is proprietary and therefore can only be opened using software developed by Olympus like their own Viewer 2 software suite or image manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. ORF files can be converted to more commonly used image formats such as JPG, PNG, and TIFF, however doing so may result in some of the camera's EXIF data being removed.

Similar File Extensions

Types of file extensions utilized by digital cameras are varied, and include but are not limited to DNG, NEF, ARW, RW2, CRW and CR2.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ORF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ORF extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ORF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ORF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ORF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ORF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ORF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ORF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ORF file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .ORF file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .ORF file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
