DNG to JPG converter

DNG is the open RAW format from Adobe, used by Leica, Pentax, Ricoh, many phones and the Adobe DNG Converter. Drop the file and get a JPG you can share, print or post, developed on your own device.

Accepts

Adobe DNG RAW photo (.dng). Other file types are not converted on this page; the File Converter hub takes every RAW format.

How to convert

  1. Drop one or more .dng files. The RAW file is developed by LibRaw, the open-source RAW decoder, compiled to run in your browser. The first time, the page asks before it downloads the engine (about 1.4 MB) from the PartPriced Tools cdn; it is checked against its SHA-256 and kept by the browser.
  2. Choose the white balance (as shot, auto or daylight), the exposure (−2 to +2 EV) and how blown highlights are handled (clip, blend or rebuild). The picture is turned upright as the camera recorded it and saved in sRGB.
  3. The preview on the page shows the JPEG the camera stored inside the RAW file, so dropping a file downloads nothing. Convert develops the RAW data itself.

Your files stay on this device. Nothing is uploaded: the conversion runs in your browser, and the file is never sent to PartPriced Tools or to any other server.

Questions

Can it convert DNG from my phone?

Phones that save RAW as DNG, such as Pixel phones and Samsung's Pro mode, give DNG files that LibRaw reads, and lossy (JPEG compressed) DNG works too. A DNG compressed with JPEG XL, as some recent iPhones write, may not be read; then the embedded preview is used.

Which white balance should I pick?

As shot uses the white balance the camera recorded, which is what the camera's own JPEG used. Auto works it out from the picture. Daylight uses the camera's fixed daylight setting.

What if I do not want the engine download?

Choose Cancel in the notice. The converter then uses the JPEG preview the camera stored in the file, and the status line says so. Many cameras store a full-size preview; some store a smaller one.

Is my RAW file uploaded?

No. The file is read and developed in your browser, on this device. Only the engine is downloaded, once; your photos are never sent anywhere.
