toolkit Drop a DNG file below to convert it to JPG right here, in this browser tab. DNG decoding runs entirely on your device — the file is never uploaded.
What DNG is
DNG (Digital Negative) is Adobe's openly published raw image format. Some cameras save raw photos directly as DNG; other camera makers' own raw formats can also be converted to DNG by tools like Adobe DNG Converter. Apple's ProRAW mode on iPhone also saves as DNG.
Why convert it
A DNG keeps far more of the original sensor data than a JPEG, which is why it's useful for editing — but most viewers, messaging apps, and websites can't open it directly. Converting to JPG gives you a file you can view or share anywhere.
Orientation is preserved
The DNG's orientation tag is read and applied before the pixels are returned, so the output JPG comes out the right way up.
Quality control
You can set the output JPEG quality before converting; the default (92%) is a reasonable balance for photos.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly; the DNG file never leaves your device.
Does this handle Apple ProRAW DNG files too?
Yes — Apple ProRAW files are DNG files, and the same decoder handles them. There's a dedicated ProRAW to JPG page as well if that's specifically what you're converting.
Will orientation be correct?
Yes — the DNG orientation tag is read and applied automatically before conversion.
Can I convert a JPG back into DNG?
No. DNG decoding is one-way here — there's no encoder that writes DNG files.
Does this apply any edits made in an editing app?
No. This performs a straightforward decode of the raw sensor data stored in the file; edits made in a separate editor after capture aren't baked into the DNG's raw data and won't appear here unless that editor exported them into the file.
