Nikon Transfer 2 is Nikon's official photo import utility for Mac, designed to automatically detect and transfer images from Nikon cameras and memory cards to your computer. It streamlines the workflow of importing RAW (NEF) and JPEG files directly from your camera or card reader, with automatic launching when a device is connected. The app is widely used by Nikon DSLR and mirrorless camera owners (D850, Z7II, and other models) as a quick, reliable way to offload photos without opening a full image editor. It integrates with macOS's Image Capture framework and can be set as the default handler for camera/card connections.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGood news: Nikon Transfer 2 has already been updated to a Universal binary (Apple Silicon native) version. Version 2.21.0 is confirmed running on real Apple Silicon Macs in the wild. You should update to the latest version available from Nikon's website or the Mac App Store — this will run natively on Apple Silicon without Rosetta 2, and you'll have full compatibility with current and future macOS versions. No alternative app is needed; simply ensure you're on the latest version.
