LibRaw is a free and open-source software library for reading raw files from digital cameras. It supports virtually all raw formats. It is based on the source code of dcraw, with modifications,[4] and "is intended for embedding in raw converters, data analyzers, and other programs using raw files as the initial data."[5]

LibRaw is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD.[6] It is included in many Linux distributions such as Arch Linux,[7] Debian,[8] Fedora,[9] Gentoo Linux,[10] openSUSE,[11] Slackware[12] and Ubuntu.[13]

Software incorporating LibRaw includes Affinity Photo,[14] digiKam,[15] EasyHDR,[16] gThumb,[17] Gwenview, IrfanView,[18] KStars, OpenImageIO,[19] Siril,[20] and Topaz Studio.[21]
