Why convert NEF to HEIF?
Want faster load times and lower bandwidth costs? Switch from NEF to HEIF. The difference is dramatic: lossless RAW vs lossy, 14-bit per channel vs 10-bit HDR. Converting NEF to HEIF extracts the small JPEG preview the camera embedded in the RAW file — it does not perform a full RAW decode (demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping) on the sensor data. The result is a quick, preview-quality image; for full-resolution processing, use dedicated RAW software like Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom. It's a low-effort change with a disproportionately high payoff.
