What is a MDC file?
MDC is a proprietary RAW image format used exclusively by the Minolta RD‑175 digital SLR camera from the mid-1990s. It stores unprocessed image data from a unique triple-CCD sensor system, which the camera combines internally to produce a single high-resolution image.
Unlike standard RAW formats, MDC lacks typical EXIF metadata and follows a custom structure optimized for Minolta’s original processing tools. While innovative in its time, the format is now considered obsolete and requires special handling for modern workflows.
How to open MDC files
MDC files can be opened using Minolta’s original software via a TWAIN driver, which allows importing images from the camera’s PCMCIA card. Once imported, files can be saved as TIFF, BMP, or JPEG for editing or archiving.
You can also convert MDC files to more widely supported formats like JPG or PNG using AnyConv, making them easier to view and share across modern platforms without relying on legacy software.

What is a JPEG file?
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in the world. The name comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed the standard in the early 1990s. JPEG files use lossy compression to reduce file size while maintaining acceptable image quality.
They are ideal for photos and web use but not for images that need frequent editing or high precision, as repeated saves degrade quality.
How to open JPEG files
JPEG files are universally supported. You can open them on any device - computer, tablet, or phone - with built-in apps or web browsers. Most photo editors also support JPEG natively.
If you want to convert JPEG to another format, AnyConv offers a fast and easy solution directly online.
