GPRaw.
The missing editor for GoPro RAW.
Shoot GoPro RAW? GPRaw is the missing editor for GPR photos and timelapse video — plus Finder thumbnails, Quick Look previews, Quick Actions and a Photos extension.
Features
GPR, finally fluent on the Mac.
Everything macOS was missing for GoPro RAW — from Finder to Photos, from a single shot to a full timelapse.
Finder & Quick Look, just like how it should have been
A folder of GPRs stops being a wall of blank icons. Real thumbnails in Finder, full previews on the spacebar. Scroll a shoot and find the frame you want in seconds instead of opening files one at a time.
The editor — every dial you need, none you don't
Double-click a GPR and it renders in a dark, full-bleed canvas with a side panel of Photos-style dials: Light, Color, Crop, AI-based Lens Correction, and depth-based Portrait blur. The tools a GoPro shot actually needs, in a clean minimal interface that stays quick even on a full RAW timelapse.
Single click converts timelapse of GPR files to mp4 — at Apple Silicon speed
A timelapse folder of RAW frames becomes a finished movie in one step — at full quality and with insanely fast export speeds. Instantly shareable to social media, or editable in your favorite video editing app.
GPRaw renders every frame at full RAW quality before encoding — no intermediate files, no quality loss from double-compression.
Export to H.264, HEVC, ProRes or Dolby Vision. Pick your resolution and frame rate, hit export, and it's done. No timeline, no intermediate files - zero learning curve.
Quick Actions
Right-click a GPR in Finder and it's done. Export to AVIF, HEIC, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF; add it to Photos; or Quick Share straight to AirDrop, Messages, or Mail — no dialogs, no conversion step.
Bring GPR files to Photos
GPRaw installs as a Photos extension, so the same editing dials are available in your Photos library — alongside Apple's AI-powered tools like reframing and cleanup (macOS 27).
Free & Paid
Free to start. Yours forever.
The download is free and stays useful: Finder thumbnails and Quick Look previews work without paying. A single one-time in-app purchase of $9.99 — no subscription — unlocks full-size editing and export forever.

Why RAW
Shoot once. Reap forever.
A JPEG is a snapshot of today's rendering. A RAW file is a permanent claim on every future version of your image — including the ones software hasn't invented yet.
No generation loss
RAW avoids the irreversible damage of compression-heavy codecs like JPEG, which discard vital sensor data the moment the shutter fires and degrade further with every crop or re-export.
An immortal digital negative
RAW files record everything the sensor saw, so they can be re-rendered as software gets smarter. With macOS 27, your GPR files get dramatically better in sharpness and denoising.
More data for AI
Pristine 12-bit data gives AI tools like computational bokeh, generative fill, and super-resolution far more precision to work with — producing dramatically higher-quality results than a heavily-compressed JPEG.
About GPR
Aren't RAW files big?
Not anymore. GPR replaces the antiquated math of uncompressed DNG with a full-frame wavelet transform — the same approach used in professional cinema codecs, and one that suits photographs far better than JPEG's blocks. No ringing, no blocking, up to 5× smaller than an equivalent uncompressed DNG.
In practice, a GPR runs about 1.4× the size of a JPEG. Full RAW latitude, near-JPEG footprint. The best part? GPR is open-source and opens natively in Lightroom and Photoshop.
GPR files are up to 5× smaller than an equivalent uncompressed DNG — with no meaningful loss in image quality.
Bring your GoPro RAW to life.
Install GPRaw and your GPR files light up across macOS — thumbnails, previews, editing, and one-click export. $9.99 one-time purchase, no subscription, nothing to sign into.
