About RW2
RW2 is the raw format of Panasonic's Lumix cameras, from the G and GH Micro Four Thirds models to the full frame S series and compacts like the LX100. It replaced Panasonic's older .raw files.
An RW2 holds 12 or 14 bits per pixel from the sensor, compressed with Panasonic's own method. Leica compacts made with Panasonic, like the D-Lux and V-Lux, saved the same kind of file as .rwl.
No browser shows RW2 by itself. Filepeek develops it with LibRaw, the open source raw decoder, using the camera's white balance. Show EXIF lists the camera, the lens and the settings, and Export saves a JPEG or PNG.

Questions
How do I convert RW2 to JPEG?
Open it here, choose Export, then Save as JPEG. It all happens on your device, so it works as a raw converter that uploads nothing.
What is an RWL file?
The same kind of raw file, saved by Leica compacts made with Panasonic, like the D-Lux and V-Lux. It opens here the same way.
Why does it look flatter than on my camera?
Your camera applies its Photo Style, with extra contrast, color and sharpening, to the photos it shows and saves as JPEG. Filepeek develops the raw data neutrally, with the camera's white balance, so the photo can look flatter here.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The RW2 is developed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
