Adobe's Digital Negative is the open-standard RAW format used by Leica, Pentax, and iPhone ProRAW. When DNG files need to travel outside the RAW editing ecosystem, this converter delivers viewable images instantly.

Drop .dng files from iPhone (ProRAW), Leica cameras, Pentax K-series, Google Pixel, or any DNG-producing software including Adobe DNG Converter.
DNG files embed a full-resolution JPEG preview rendered at capture. Extracted faithfully — white balance, color rendering, and exposure baked in from camera settings.
JPG for universal sharing, PNG for lossless quality, WebP for web delivery. GPS, capture date, camera model, and lens data preserved in EXIF.

Adobe introduced DNG in 2004 to unify the fragmented RAW format landscape. Major camera makers (Canon, Nikon, Sony) declined to adopt it natively — but Leica, Pentax, and Apple did. DNG remains the best-documented RAW format.

DNG sources, ProRAW specifics, and output quality.
iPhone 12 Pro and later (ProRAW mode), Leica M/Q/SL/TL/CL series, Pentax K and 645 series, OnePlus 8 Pro and later, Ricoh GRIII, and Hasselblad X system. Adobe DNG Converter also translates Canon CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, and other proprietary RAW to DNG.
Yes. ProRAW is a 12-bit RAW DNG that includes Apple's Computational Photography data (Deep Fusion, Smart HDR) in XMP metadata. The .dng file is a standards-compliant DNG — our converter handles it identically to Leica or Pentax DNG.
No — it extracts the embedded JPEG preview that the camera rendered at capture time. For full RAW processing (white balance adjustment, highlight recovery, noise reduction), use Lightroom, Capture One, or RawTherapee. This tool is for quick exports.
The embedded JPEG preview is the camera's current render state with computational features applied. Smart HDR and Deep Fusion results show in the output. Apple's edit metadata (stored in XMP) doesn't transfer since target formats have no slot for it.
50 MB. iPhone ProRAW is 25–50 MB per capture. Leica M11 DNG files are 50–80 MB — close to or exceeding the limit. For oversized DNG, open in Lightroom and export a resized DNG, or export directly to JPG from Lightroom.
Yes. Adobe DNG Converter translates proprietary RAW files (CR3, NEF, ARW, ORF) to DNG. The resulting DNG files contain embedded previews and are standards-compliant — our converter handles them identically to camera-native DNG.
