I took some photos with my Nokia and they stayed with the .nrw extension. How can I open this format?

Perhaps we could better answer if we knew which Nokia. Your best option probably is to use the software that came with your phone, or to change the image format setting on your phone (if possible). – oKtosiTe Dec 2 '10 at 18:11

Perhaps try uploading the .nrw photo to the free Online Convert website (not affiliated with it in any way, shape or form):

On some models you may at least change the image format your photos get saved in at Camera > Options > Settings > Image Format.

Most likely it is set to store pictures in RAW format. NRW is the Nikon camera RAW format – Moab Dec 2 '10 at 18:38
Well, as mentioned here, it is probably not the same file type. – oKtosiTe Dec 2 '10 at 19:07
The phone doesn't have that option :( – aF. Dec 10 '10 at 9:29

Whenever a nokia Symbian S40 series phone clicks a picture, it is initially store in an nrw file (which is like a RAW image format for these phones). Ideally, the phone's image converter runs in the background to convert these images to JPG. Your best bet would be to turn your phone off and on, so that it gets converted the next time you switch it on.
