Rawnd

Rawnd opens camera RAW photos inside the conversation. ChatGPT reads JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF; a NEF, CR3, ARW or RAF file shows it nothing. Rawnd adds a panel where you drop the RAW file. The file is read on your device, inside the panel, and never uploaded: not to Rawnd, not to OpenAI.

What it does

• Shows the JPEG the camera stored inside the RAW file, in under a second, with the shooting data: camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO and focal length.
• Lets you keep that JPEG (right-click the preview, "Save image as…") or show it to ChatGPT with one click, stripped of its metadata, so you can talk about the photo.
• Offers eight hand-written looks: Dark film, Warm film, High-contrast B&W, Cool & muted, Golden hour, Matte, Crisp & vivid and Teal & orange. ChatGPT picks the one that matches what you describe, can adjust it within narrow bounds ("a bit less warm"), and shows a card that opens it in Rawnd's editor, in the browser.

Who it is for Photographers with RAW files from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, Samsung, Leica, Phase One and other cameras, who want to see a RAW file, get a JPEG out of it or pick a look for it, without installing anything. Sixteen formats: CR2, CR3, CRW, NEF, NRW, ARW, SRF, SR2, RAF, DNG, RW2, ORF, PEF, SRW, IIQ and RAW.

Limits

• The panel shows the camera's own rendering, at the size the camera stored: full size on most Nikon and Canon bodies, 1920 × 1280 on Fujifilm. Developing the RAW itself (exposure, white balance) happens in Rawnd's editor.
• Camera RAW files only: it does not open JPEG, PNG or HEIC.
• A look opens in the editor; it is not applied inside the conversation.
• One file at a time.

Privacy Rawnd's server receives only the tool arguments, a look's name and slider values, and counts one row per call: the tool and the assistant. No account, no sign-in, no photo.
