ARW to DNG
File Converter

ARW is a raw image file format used by Sony digital cameras, capturing unprocessed data from the camera’s sensor. This format provides photographers with extensive flexibility in post-processing, allowing for adjustments to exposure, color balance, and other settings without loss of image quality, but it results in larger file sizes and requires specialized software to view and edit.

DNG (Digital Negative) is an open-source raw image file format developed by Adobe, aimed at providing a universal and more standardized option for storing raw image data from digital cameras. This format enables extensive post-processing flexibility, allowing photographers to adjust exposure, color balance, and other settings while preserving image quality. DNG files also tend to be smaller in size compared to other raw formats, and they are widely supported across various software applications, making them a popular choice for photographers looking for both quality and compatibility.
