RawDrop
RAW from Photos to Lightroom
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
The RAW your camera shot, straight to Lightroom.
Your camera's RAW is already on your phone. When you import a RAW+JPEG shoot into Photos, the RAW is kept behind the JPEG, and Lightroom only ever asks for the JPEG. RawDrop hands over the RAW instead.
Open RawDrop and every photo with a RAW inside shows up, grouped by day. Pick one, pick a shoot, or sweep across a row, then tap Send and choose Lightroom. Up to 50 at a time, the way Lightroom likes it.
What it does
• Finds every RAW in your library, by day or by album
• Sends the original file with its original name: ARW, RAF, CR3, NEF, DNG and more
• Remembers what you've already sent, so the next shoot is one tap
• A viewer that shows the camera, lens and exposure of every frame
• Home and Lock Screen widgets that show how many RAWs are waiting
Private by design
Everything happens on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and RawDrop never changes your library.
Made by OCTOBER, a design studio in London.
