What is a PEF File? Understanding the Format
A PEF file (Pentax Electronic File) is a RAW image format used by Pentax digital cameras. Unlike JPEGs, PEF files contain uncompressed sensor data, allowing for superior editing flexibility and image quality. With file extension .pef and MIME type image/x-pentax-pef, this format is common in Pentax K-series, Q-series, and Optio cameras. You'll need a dedicated PEF file format viewer like ours to open these files without losing quality.
