RAW delivery

Deliver RAW files while clients see ready-to-view JPEGs

Upload your camera RAW files, and your clients can view them immediately as rendered JPEGs in their browser. Your originals stay untouched and byte-for-byte for clean archival handoffs. No one on the receiving end needs RAW software to look at the photos.

What happens when you upload RAW

  1. Pick your RAW files

    You pick RAW files on the homepage. Your draft stays in your browser until you sign in with Google and send.

  2. Upload with resume

    Uploads run in resumable 8 MiB parts, so you can leave mid-upload and pick up right where you stopped.

  3. Previews render in the background

    The server renders a 2000 px JPEG preview and a 480 px thumbnail for each RAW file in the background. See how this works in our guide on photo preview vs. original files.

  4. Publish one link

    Clients open it with no account or app required, browse 60-photo grid pages, and download files based on the toggles you turn on.

RAW for the handoff, JPEG for the viewing

Originals are stored byte-for-byte. When an art director, commercial client, or second shooter needs the RAW data, they download the exact file you uploaded. Learn more about original downloads.

Clients who only want to look at or share their photos see rendered 2000 px JPEGs directly in the gallery viewer. You control the delivery format through independent toggles: offer RAW originals, JPEG versions, both, or view-only access. You can also permit single-file saves or full ZIP downloads.

Common questions

Can clients view RAW photos without special software?
Yes. When you upload a RAW file, shoots.page creates a 2000 px JPEG preview in the background. When clients open your link, their browser displays that JPEG preview without requiring a RAW converter or camera utility.
Are the RAW originals altered in any way?
No. Uploaded RAW files are stored byte-for-byte. Any RAW download your client initiates delivers the identical file you uploaded from your camera or drive.
Which RAW formats work?
CR2, NEF, and DNG are verified. The upload engine relies on LibRaw, which supports most camera manufacturer RAW formats up to 1 GiB and 80 MP per file.
Can I share JPEGs only and keep the RAWs out of the download options?
Yes. Download permissions are independent toggles. You can upload RAW files so shoots.page generates the gallery, and then offer only JPEG downloads to your client while keeping the RAW originals out of the download options.
