01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
This is the website for RawTherapee, a free raw photo processing program released under the GPLv3 licence. The domain is over 20 years old, and an independent encyclopedia entry lists this address as the project's website. Security checks found no detections, the site asks for no payment, and its download buttons lead to the project's code hosting. That is why it scores as Safe.
An established, independently referenced project
The domain has existed for about 7,400 days, roughly two decades. A Wikipedia article on RawTherapee names www.rawtherapee.com as its website, which supports that this is the real project site and not a copy.
The page describes the program as Free and Open Source software that can be used free of charge, and it invites visitors to download, modify and improve the source code.
Technical checks and operator risk
No security engine out of 93 flagged the site, the browser threat feed showed no warning, and the connection is properly encrypted.
On the operator side, the site does not sell anything or collect payment. One minor gap is that no direct contact email appeared on the captured page. The site does link to a community forum, which is typical for volunteer-run open-source projects.
What visitors actually do here
Visitors choose a download for Windows (x86_64 or ARM64), macOS, or Linux AppImage, or they get the source code. These links point to the project's repository on github.com rather than to an unknown file host.
Why the score is 92
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

- Oct 18, 2026Saved security review — Rated Safe
This saved scan found no active threat signals in the checks it completed.
www.rawtherapee.com has operated for years with no threat signals in this review — a long, stable track record, though it is never a guarantee on its own.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
- No direct contact email found on the captured page.
- Links to 7 social profiles.
Domain & Encryption
Certificate issued for rawtherapee.com.
A shared content-delivery network address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
