Supported file formats
The image formats Media Moana accepts on upload: JPEG, PNG, HEIC and the other common formats, and camera RAW files from every major maker.
Media Moana takes the files your camera and phone write — common image formats, HEIC and camera RAW. Every file is stored exactly as uploaded; what changes by format is only how its preview is made.
Common image formats
| Format | Extensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| JPEG | .jpg, .jpeg | The most common photo format |
| PNG | .png | Lossless, with transparency |
| WebP | .webp | |
| AVIF | .avif | |
| TIFF | .tif, .tiff | Scans and archive masters |
| GIF | .gif | |
| BMP | .bmp | |
| SVG | .svg | Stored and downloadable as uploaded |
HEIC / HEIF
Photos from iPhones and many Android phones. They are kept as uploaded and get a preview that opens in any browser — no need to convert them first.
| Format | Extensions |
|---|---|
| HEIC / HEIF | .heic, .heif, .heics, .heifs |
Camera RAW
Upload RAW files straight from the card. The RAW file itself is kept untouched — it is what you download, export or share as an original — and a preview is made so you can browse the shoot in the browser.
| Maker | Extensions |
|---|---|
| Canon | .cr2, .cr3, .crw |
| Nikon | .nef, .nrw |
| Sony | .arw, .sr2, .srf |
| Fujifilm | .raf |
| Olympus / OM System | .orf |
| Panasonic | .raw, .rw2 |
| Pentax | .pef |
| Leica | .rwl |
| Samsung | .srw |
| Hasselblad | .3fr, .fff |
| Phase One | .iiq |
| Mamiya | .mef |
| Kodak | .dcr, .k25, .kdc |
| Minolta | .mrw |
| Adobe DNG (and cameras that write it) | .dng |
Sigma's .x3f files are not supported.
To turn a RAW or HEIC into a full-size JPEG you can hand to anyone, use the Convert to JPEG preset.
Not supported
Anything that is not a photo is skipped, and the rest of the batch carries on — the message at the end of the upload says what was skipped:
.jfif— a JPEG under another name: rename it to.jpgand upload it again- Documents —
.pdf,.psd - Icons —
.ico - Specialist formats —
.exr,.hdr,.tga,.ppm,.pbm,.pgm,.jp2(JPEG 2000),.jxl(JPEG XL) - Video, audio, archives and any other non-image file
Limits
- File size — up to 250 MB per file, enough for a medium-format RAW. A larger file isn't uploaded: the upload report lists it under Over the size limit.
- Storage — your plan's storage counts the originals you upload, trash included; the previews are on us. See Pricing.
