DNG is Adobe's open RAW format, designed as a standardized alternative to the dozens of proprietary RAW formats different camera manufacturers use. When you need a lossless export rather than a compressed one — for archival masters, further editing in other software, or print work — PNG is the better target than JPG, since it doesn't introduce any additional compression loss once the DNG file has been demosaiced.
Converting DNG to PNG is the practical choice when a DNG-based archive needs to retain maximum quality through an editing or archival pipeline rather than a final, compressed delivery.
- Install Batchify Raw Image Converter on your Windows PC.
- Open the app and select Batch Mode for an entire shoot, or Individual Mode for a single DNG file.
- Drag your DNG files or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
- Set the "From" format to DNG and the "To" format to PNG.
- Click Convert. Lossless PNG files are written to your output folder, fully offline.
- Native support for Adobe's open DNG RAW format
- Lossless PNG output preserves full image detail
- Bulk-convert an entire shoot's worth of DNG files in one batch
- Runs fully offline, keeping unreleased shoots private
- Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
Why choose PNG instead of JPG for DNG exports?
PNG is lossless, making it the better choice when preserving maximum image detail for archiving or further editing matters more than minimizing file size.
Which cameras produce DNG files?
DNG is Adobe's open RAW standard, used directly by some cameras and also commonly used as an archival format when converting from manufacturer-specific RAW formats.
Can I convert an entire shoot of DNG files at once?
Yes, Batch Mode processes an entire folder of DNG files in one pass, including nested sub-folders if recursive scanning is enabled.
