NEF is the abbreviation for Nikon Electric Film, NEF files are the RAW image files produced by SLR digital camera, and these files are referred to RAW files. In other words, the file extension of RAW files produced by NIKON cameras will be *.nef.
Why do you want to convert NEF to JPG or other common image formats ?

A JPG file has the specifications of a general image; its advantage is that it has a smaller file size and is suitable for share and saving purposes. If you have a NEF photo that you want to upload to the website, send to a friend or transfer into your phone etc, you will need to convert your NEF photo into JPG or PNG, GIF, TIFF, other formats etc.
