Import raw photos from Photos app

I took a picture on an iPhone in raw format with the camera app.

When I use the macOS Photos app, dragging the photo thumbnail to the desktop converts it to jpeg.

Is there a way to export photos in raw format?


Solution 1:

X_841 is correct.

  • In Photos, select the RAW image or images that you want to export.
  • Under the File Menu, select Export, then select Export Unmodified Original.
  • Save the file where ever you choose.

That file will be save out in it's unmodified RAW format.
