Product scope

Raw Compact’s current development scope is Nikon ZR R3D NE and N-RAW (.NEV) video, Apple silicon, and macOS 14 or later. The four levels are Master, Studio, Edit and Max. NEF and NRW still-photo files, Intel Macs and other camera models are outside the stated scope.

Compression is lossy. Keep camera originals and review any copies before relying on them.

Release and purchase status

The app is in pre-release validation. No orders, payments or app downloads are accepted by this website. Release timing has not been announced.

US$50, one-time. Your licence never expires and includes every 1.x update, on one activated Mac at a time. To move it, deactivate it online on the old Mac, then activate it on the new one. After a successful online check it works up to seven days offline; when another check is due, reconnect before starting new jobs. An export already running finishes normally.

Lost or replaced Mac: if you can’t deactivate the old Mac, email rawcompact@gmail.com with your order email and we’ll reset the activation. Refunds are handled case by case: if Raw Compact doesn’t work on your supported Mac and we can’t fix it, you get your money back. Payment and receipts are handled by Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record.
