About:
Adobe DNG Converter is a free utility that converts proprietary RAW image files from over 600 cameras into the universal Digital Negative (DNG) format. It provides a standardized, open-source archive of your raw photos, ensuring long-term accessibility and compatibility. The tool also embeds original raw data within the DNG file, preserving your edits and metadata.
Key Features:
  • Batch processes entire folders of images for efficient conversion
  • Embeds original raw files within the DNG for a complete digital negative
  • Includes lossless compression options to reduce file sizes
  • Verifies image integrity during the conversion process
  • Updates camera models and lens profiles for maximum compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Archiving RAW photos to ensure they remain accessible with future software
  • Standardizing RAW files from different camera manufacturers into a single format
  • Enabling older software versions to open RAW files from newer cameras
Alternatives:
  • RawTherapee – Open-source alternative that offers RAW processing and conversion, but focuses more on editing than archiving.
  • darktable – A virtual light-table and darkroom for photographers that can export to DNG, but is a full editing suite.
