Work with RAW files in Pixelmator Pro on Mac

When you take photos using your camera’s RAW setting, the camera creates RAW files that contain unprocessed data from the digital sensor. Unlike JPEG files, RAW files store all the original sensor information, giving you more flexibility when editing.

Pixelmator Pro supports RAW files, so you can edit RAW images and access their extended detail while making color adjustments. When you import RAW files, they appear as RAW layers and are identified with the RAW icon in the Layers sidebar.

You can open a RAW file on your Mac just like any other image file, or add one as a layer to an existing document.

See the Apple Support article Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, and visionOS 26 to learn about which RAW formats you can open and work with in Pixelmator Pro for Mac.

Export a RAW file

If you have a RAW file in your document, you can export it as a new file, in the original RAW format, without any adjustments.

  1. In Pixelmator Pro on Mac, control-click a RAW layer.

  2. Choose Export RAW, enter a name for the file in the Save As field, then click Export.

Reprocess a RAW file

Some tools in Pixelmator Pro apply changes to images destructively. However, when you apply these changes to a RAW layer, it’s possible to reprocess the RAW file and revert any destructive edits.

  1. In Pixelmator Pro on Mac, control-click a RAW layer.

  2. Choose Reprocess RAW.
