About:
DNGLab is a command-line utility that converts proprietary camera RAW files into the standardized Adobe DNG format. It provides a future-proof archival solution by embedding raw sensor data within an open specification. This tool helps photographers maintain long-term compatibility of their digital negatives across different software platforms.
Key Features:
  • Batch conversion of RAW files to DNG
  • Preserves original RAW data and metadata
  • Command-line interface for automation and scripting
  • Supports a wide range of camera models and formats
Use Cases:
  • Archiving RAW photos in a future-proof, open format
  • Standardizing files from different camera manufacturers for consistent workflow
  • Automating conversion processes for large photo libraries
Alternatives:
  • Adobe DNG Converter – Official GUI tool from Adobe; DNGLab is a free, open-source CLI alternative
