MEF to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming an image stored in the MEF (Mamiya Raw/MEF) raw camera file format into the HRZ format, a high-resolution image container used for optimized viewing and distribution. This conversion decodes the raw sensor data, applies color and exposure processing, and encodes the result into HRZ with chosen compression and quality settings for sharing or archival.

MEF files usually use the MIME type image/x-mef and are raw image files generated by certain Nikon cameras.

MEF files typically store raw image data with high fidelity, mostly used in photography workflows. HRZ format, on the other hand, is optimized for compressed, compatible output suitable for fast sharing and usage across different platforms. While MEF prioritizes quality, HRZ focuses on efficiency and versatility.
Keep original MEF files under 250MB each for fastest web-based conversions; local tools can handle larger raw files more reliably.
To preserve dynamic range, convert MEF at the highest bit depth available and choose HRZ lossless or high-quality settings.
When processing many files, use batch conversion with consistent exposure and white-balance presets to save time and ensure uniform output.
Note that embedded metadata in MEF (EXIF, IPTC, camera profiles) may not fully transfer to HRZ unless the converter preserves metadata explicitly.
