RAW Preview Extractor v1.0 (Build 0.38) - Initial Release Latest
Latest

Welcome to the first official release of RAW Preview Extractor by Pixel Tools Lab!

This high-performance, multithreaded Windows utility is designed to help photographers rapidly extract embedded JPEG previews and convert RAW images without the slow import times of standard photo editing suites.

✨ Key Features in v1.0

  • Lightning-Fast Extraction: Instantly pulls embedded JPEG previews from RAW files using the ExifTool engine.
  • ImageMagick Integration: Automatically falls back to a full RAW decode if a preview is missing, with options to process PSD and TIFF files.
  • Multithreaded Processing: Configure the number of active CPU threads to maximize speed on large batches of images.
  • Metadata Preservation: Seamlessly copies all original camera EXIF data (Aperture, Shutter Speed, GPS, etc.) to the output JPEGs.
  • Smart Workflow Tools: Includes options for auto-orientation, image downscaling, intelligent file collision handling, and dynamic text watermarking.
  • Custom UI: Switch between Dark and Light themes with adjustable UI scaling.
  • Broad Compatibility: Supports standard formats including .cr2, .cr3, .nef, .arw, .dng, .raf, .orf, .rw2, .tif, and .psd.

📥 How to Install

  1. Download the RAW-Preview-Extractor-Setup.exe file attached under the Assets section below.
  2. Run the installer. It will automatically handle the setup, install required third-party dependencies (ExifTool and ImageMagick), configure registry keys to prevent duplicate installs, and create your Start Menu shortcuts.
  3. Launch the app and select your first source folder!
