Today we have hundreds of digital cameras available in the market to choose from.

Thankfully, there are a number of RAW to DNG converter software available online, that can help us in converting our photos to DNG format for viewing, editing and preserving them for future generations. We will discuss some of them here.

Other Platforms

With an increase in the use of other platforms like Android and Linux, demand for DNG converters for their users also increased.

Adobe Camera Raw plug-in was introduced for the MAC users, as most other DNG converter software are not supported by the Apple device. This software offers most of the same features that are available for the window users. Though, Mac being a different platform, a window user may take some time to identify and orient with the software. You can also see NEF to JPG Converter

What is RAW to DNG Converter?

Many camera brands offer their personalized software with their products for image viewing and editing. This creates an issue of too many image formats, with most not recognizable by one and other. When the production of a particular model or brand ends, normally image software support ends with it. You can also see Duplicate Image Finder

To counter this problem, Adobe launched an image converter that was created with a mission statement: to be able to decode any raw image, from any digital camera, on any computer, running any operating system. Software based on this principle are called RAW to DNG converters.

DNG provides a reliable way of preserving images for future generations, in their original form, without damaging or altering them. In the time, when technology is changing and evolving at a rapid pace, a standardized system is a necessity. Since its launch in 2004, it has gained the universal standard status for storing images.
