HEIF to DNG
File Converter

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is a versatile image file format designed for improved compression, resulting in high-quality images with smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), HEIF supports a wide range of features including transparency, 16-bit color depth, and the ability to store multiple images in one file, making it suitable for live photos and burst photography. However, its adoption has been gradual, and not all software and devices support HEIF files natively, which can necessitate conversion for broader compatibility.

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.
