What is a DNG file?
DNG stands for Digital Negative, a raw image format developed by Adobe as an open standard for storing unprocessed digital photos. It was introduced to unify the many proprietary RAW formats used by different camera brands.
DNG retains all the benefits of raw formats — full image detail, dynamic range, and editability — but adds better compatibility and long-term archival safety.
How to open DNG files
You can open DNG files using Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and other RAW photo editors like RawTherapee or darktable. Many operating systems also offer basic viewing support.
To convert DNG to a more common format like JPG or PNG, AnyConv provides a quick and simple online tool.
