In their own words
FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO
FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO converts camera RAW files with the image processor inside a connected FUJIFILM camera. The camera must be attached to the computer by USB, and a RAW file can be converted only when it came from the same camera model. The software is designed to retain camera tonality, color reproduction, noise reduction, and Film Simulations, including RAW development with REALA ACE. FUJIFILM says conversion time is almost the same as taking a photo and does not depend on computer performance. Output formats are JPEG and TIFF, using a preset-based workflow. Thumbnail images can be dragged to Explorer, and software such as Photoshop can be activated. The free download costs nothing and runs on Windows and macOS. Version 1.28.0 is listed for both, updated October 23, 2025; Windows requires 10 or 11 64-bit with 4 GB RAM recommended.
