Quick fact about DNG
DNG is Adobe's universal RAW format — used by iPhone ProRAW, Leica, Pentax, and Adobe Lightroom conversions. DNG is vendor-neutral, so it works across all RAW processors.
Why convert DNG to JPG?
DNG (Digital Negative) is Adobe's open RAW format — designed to be vendor-neutral and future-proof. It's used by iPhone ProRAW, Leica, Pentax, Ricoh, and Adobe Lightroom. Because DNG isn't viewable on most devices, converting to JPG makes your photos universal and shareable.

Quality considerations
DNG → JPG applies automatic tone mapping for a good-looking result. For iPhone ProRAW, the output closely matches Apple's default rendering. JPG quality is 92% — sharp and clean.
Limitations and caveats
- Automatic tone mapping may not match your editing vision.
- Bit depth reduced from 12/14/16-bit to 8-bit.
- Apple ProRAW's Deep Fusion processing may differ slightly.
- Very large DNG files (50+ MB) may take 8-12 seconds.
- For professional editing, use Lightroom or Capture One.
Compatibility

- Accepted by every social media and photo platform.

Tips for best results

- Apple ProRAW converts cleanly.
- Keep the original DNG if you may re-edit later.
- For critical color work, use Lightroom or Capture One.
Common problems and fixes
- Apple ProRAW colors look different from Photos app
- Apple's Photos app uses Deep Fusion processing. Our automatic tone mapping is close but not identical. Use Apple Photos for exact rendering.
- Colors look different from camera preview
- Automatic tone mapping uses a standard profile. Use manufacturer software (Leica, Pentax) for exact camera-rendered colors.
- File is very large
- JPG at quality 92 with full sensor resolution produces large files. Resize after conversion for smaller files.
