Turn your file into a share-worthy AI Effect — one tap, no prompts.
A raw file is the unprocessed data straight from a camera’s sensor, keeping maximum detail and dynamic range before it is developed into a JPG or PNG. “RAW” isn’t one format — each maker has its own (CR2, NEF, ARW…).
RAW files open in Lightroom, Photoshop / Camera Raw, Capture One and each camera maker’s software.
DNG is Adobe’s open, universal raw format. It stores unprocessed sensor data in a standardised container any modern editor can open — ideal for archiving photos.
DNG opens in Lightroom, Photoshop, Camera Raw and most pro photo editors.
Yes in principle — RAW is camera RAW and DNG is an open RAW container, so it's a lossless conversion. SharkFoto is adding it; meanwhile you can convert RAW to JPG, PNG or TIFF.
DNG (Adobe Digital Negative) is an open, royalty-free RAW format. It stores unprocessed sensor data in a standardized container any modern editor can open — ideal for archiving photos long-term.
DNG isn't higher quality — it's more universal and future-proof. Many photographers convert their proprietary camera RAW to DNG so files stay openable for decades.
RAW converts cleanly to JPG, PNG, TIFF and WEBP right now — free and unlimited.
