Hello. What’s best workable approach using iPad Pro to convert RAW photos to JPEG format? If app necessary, which do you use / recommend? TIA.
 
What RAW format? what iPadOS version? There is system-wide support for quite a bunch - depending on that, e.g. Apple Photos will do conversion to JPEG… or for larger batches via Apple Shortcuts… or one of the various third party apps: free Snapseed, or Nitro, Lightroom, Photomator, etc.
Thanks. 17.7.1; have been trying Snapsheet but looking for more WYSIWYG; will check out the others.

Appears Nitro is 7-day trial. Nice dashboard, workflow. Anyone know whether the convert to JPEG feature remain available following the trial period?

What are you trying to say? 😃 I assume, you might referring to the possible visual differences between a nicely developed RAW and the, to a lower bit depth converted, JPEG?
This is the general challenge, and different programs provide partly qualitatively different, pre-configured solutions to adress specific scenarios. In cases where you not satisfied with the exported 8bit JPEG of an image which is important to, you can always try HEIC or use a loss-less compressed higher bit image format. Maybe it is more productive if you post in the photography forum here on MR - many of its participants are knowledgeable & very helpful.

In relation to the functionality accessible in Nitro after the trial period: I assume that you will not be able to use any of it - but you can just check, that’s the nice thing about trial versions. I can’t, I bought it immediately after the first official release. 🤓
