About DNG
DNG (Digital Negative) is Adobe's open, royalty-free RAW image format designed as a universal standard for camera raw data. Based on TIFF/EP, DNG stores unprocessed sensor data with 12-16 bit color depth and supports lossless compression to reduce file sizes while preserving quality. Unlike proprietary RAW formats, DNG is publicly documented and widely supported across software applications.

DNG is used natively by Leica and Pentax, and is the format for Apple ProRAW on iPhone and Google Pixel phones. Many photographers convert proprietary RAW files to DNG for long-term archival. For sharing or web publishing, conversion to JPEG is necessary since RAW formats require specialized software like Adobe Lightroom, Camera Raw, or other DNG-compatible applications.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) provides lossless compression with full alpha channel transparency, making it the go-to format for graphics, screenshots, and images requiring pixel-perfect fidelity. Created in 1996 as a patent-free GIF alternative, PNG uses DEFLATE compression and supports both indexed color (PNG-8) and truecolor with alpha (PNG-24/32). Files are 3-10× larger than equivalent JPEGs but preserve every pixel exactly.

PNG is universally supported and ideal for logos, UI elements, diagrams, and any content where transparency or lossless editing matters. For photographic content without transparency needs, JPEG typically offers better compression efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DNG file?
DNG (Digital Negative) is Adobe's open RAW image format introduced in 2004. DNG stores 12-16 bit unprocessed sensor data based on the TIFF/EP specification.
DNG is used natively by Apple iPhone (ProRAW), Google Pixel, Leica, Hasselblad, and many DJI drones. Other cameras can convert their proprietary RAW files to DNG using Adobe's free DNG Converter.
DNG files typically range from 10-75 MB depending on sensor resolution and whether the image is a standard DNG or computational ProRAW file.
Does this support Apple ProRAW?
Yes, fully supported. iPhone ProRAW files (.DNG) are processed correctly. ProRAW combines Apple's computational photography (Deep Fusion, Smart HDR) with RAW flexibility, stored in DNG format.
ProRAW files are typically 25-50 MB per image and convert well to PNG for lossless archival or further editing.
Why choose PNG over JPG for DNG conversion?
PNG provides lossless compression while JPG uses lossy compression. Choose PNG when:
- Archival quality: No compression artifacts, ever
- Further editing: No quality loss from repeated saves
- 16-bit color: PNG preserves more color depth than 8-bit JPG
- Transparency: PNG supports alpha channels if needed
Trade-off: PNG files are 2-4x larger than equivalent JPGs.
For smaller files optimized for web sharing, use our DNG to JPG converter.
Is quality preserved when converting DNG to PNG?
Yes, PNG conversion is lossless. Unlike JPG, PNG uses lossless compression that preserves all pixel data exactly. The conversion process:
- Demosaics the RAW sensor data via LibRaw
- Applies auto white balance with camera hints
- Converts to sRGB color space
- Compresses with PNG's lossless DEFLATE algorithm
The resulting PNG can be edited repeatedly without quality degradation.
Which devices shoot DNG natively?
DNG is used as the native or optional RAW format by:
- Smartphones: Apple iPhone (ProRAW), Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy (Expert RAW)
- Leica: M11, M10, SL2, Q3, Q2
- Hasselblad: X2D 100C, X1D II, 907X
- Pentax: All K-series (optional alongside PEF)
- DJI Drones: Mavic 3, Air 2S, Mini 3 Pro
Other cameras can convert to DNG via Adobe DNG Converter (free download).
What are the limits for this converter?
| Tier | Max File Size | Max Files/Batch | Parallel Processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest/Free | 100 MB | 50 files | 3 at once |
| Pro | 1024 MB | 1000 files | 6 at once |
Note: File size limits are specific to this converter. Batch and parallel processing limits apply to all images converters site-wide. See all converter limits →
How are credits calculated for this conversion?
Cost: 1 credit per 5 MB
How it works:
- Files up to 5 MB: 1 credit
- 6-10 MB: 2 credits
- 11-15 MB: 3 credits
- 16-20 MB: 4 credits
Example: A 5 MB photo = 1 credit. A 95 MB photo = 19 credits.
Why per-megabyte? Larger files require more resources (processing, bandwidth, storage).
What are my daily and monthly credit limits?
Credit allocations vary by account tier:
| Tier | Daily Limit | Monthly Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Guest | 100 credits/day | — |
| Free | 100 credits/day | — |
| Pro | — | 12,000 credits/month |
Daily credits (Guest & Free tiers) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro) reset on your billing cycle date.
Note: With 1 credit per 5 MB, DNG files under 5 MB cost 1 credit each. Pro users can convert 12,000 DNG files per month.
