How to open UFRAW file?

The most common problem when using UFRaw Data Format is that a specific UFRAW is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open UFRAW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UFRAW file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install UFRaw

The first step is to check if the computer has the UFRaw program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name UFRaw in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UFRAW with UFRaw. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UFRAW files.

Programs to open UFRAW file

Remember to download programs supporting UFRAW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of UFRaw with UFRAW files

If, despite the installed application, the UFRAW file does not start in the UFRaw application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UFRAW file with the UFRaw program.

Step 3. Update UFRaw to the latest version

If, despite the association of the UFRaw program with the UFRaw Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SourceForge.net page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UFRAW file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The UFRAW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UFRAW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UFRAW file. However, remember that not every infected UFRAW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UFRAW file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UFRAW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UFRAW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move UFRAW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
