Previously, when editing RAW photos in the web version of Google Photos, the files were first converted to JPG for editing, meaning the service did not technically support native RAW editing. Furthermore, downloading RAW photos would also result in a converted JPG file rather than the original RAW data.

However, the web version of Google Photos now allows users to download RAW photos as actual RAW files, enabling editing with any software that supports RAW file formats. Additionally, similar to the Android version of the Google Photos app, users can set ” Lightroom,” ” Adobe Photoshop,” or ” Photopea” as their default RAW editor to perform RAW file editing directly from Google Photos on the web.
