MDC is the RAW format used by certain Minolta and Agfa digital cameras, storing unprocessed sensor data before it's been demosaiced into a viewable color image. When digitizing or restoring legacy photo collections, PNG is often the better target than JPG, since it's lossless and avoids stacking further compression artifacts on top of older files.
Converting MDC to PNG demosaics the sensor data and writes a lossless file, making it the practical choice for preserving maximum quality when revisiting older Minolta and Agfa camera systems.

- Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
Why choose PNG instead of JPG for old MDC files?
PNG is lossless, which avoids stacking further compression loss on top of older photo files when archiving them in a modern format.
Which cameras produce MDC files?
MDC is a RAW format used by certain Minolta and Agfa digital cameras, including the Minolta RD-175.
Can I convert an entire archive of MDC files at once?
Yes, Batch Mode processes an entire folder of MDC files in one pass, including nested sub-folders if recursive scanning is enabled.
