What is an SRW file?

SRW files mostly belong to i-Launcher by Samsung. SRW filename extension is associated with a RAW image format used to store photographs captured by Samsung digital cameras such as NX10 and NX11. This SRW image format is based on TIFF/EP format. The contents of an SRW file saved in this format include a RAW image (embedded in the first IFD tag), a thumbnail (saved in the SubIFD in IFD1 tag), EXIF data, as well as other metadata (e.g. camera settings). Lightroom, Photoshop, and ACDSee Photo Studio can import, edit, and develop SRW images. SRW is also the filename extension of wind resource data files used by System Advisor Model renewable energy performance and financial modelling software. These SRW files contain comma-separated values (like CSV files). PowerBuilder integrated development environment saves window objects used to build applications in SRW files.

SRW format details:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the SRW files looks like this:

The SRW file extension is not found very often and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in SRW files:

45% of all SRW files belong to Samsung Raw image. The files are using the common file format TIFF. TIFF is short for Tagged Image File Format. It stores raster graphics images that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit, lossy and lossless compression and multiple layers and pages. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. SRW files can be up to 42 MB in size, but are often around 18 MB - 33 MB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as SAMSUNG.
15% of all SRW files are using the well-known TIFF file format to store the data. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are often between 17 KB and 23 MB in size. The files contain the following words: SAMSUNG and NX3000.

All the rest of the SRW files (40%) have different formats, frequently e.g. UTF-16 (LE), loc, PBExportHeader and SHAZAM. They are often associated with lands, flat, northwestern, data or member. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your SRW file!
