This online tool automatically extracts original image dimensions and metadata, allowing you to adjust brightness, saturation, highlight recovery, and output dimensions before generating your final JPEG. ## Inputs - **DNG RAW File** (file): Select DNG RAW file - **JPEG Quality (1-100)** (text): Enter JPEG quality (1-100) - **Output Width (optional)** (text): Enter max width in pixels (leave empty to keep original) - **Output Height (optional)** (text): Enter max height in pixels (leave empty to keep original) - **Brightness** (range): Adjust image brightness. 1.0 = default, higher = brighter, lower = darker. - **Saturation** (range): Adjust color saturation. 1.0 = default, higher = more vivid, lower = more muted. - **Highlight Recovery** (range): Recover blown-out highlights. 0 = off, higher = more aggressive recovery. ## When to use - When you need to share RAW DNG photos from your camera or mobile device in a universally compatible JPEG format. - When you want to quickly preview and adjust the brightness, saturation, or highlights of a RAW image without opening heavy editing software. - When you need to resize large DNG files to specific pixel dimensions for web use or email attachments. ## How it works - Upload your DNG RAW file (up to 200MB) using the file selector. - Customize your output settings, including JPEG quality, maximum width or height, brightness, saturation, and highlight recovery. - Click convert to process the RAW data, extract metadata, and download your optimized JPEG image. ## Use cases - Photographers converting mobile-shot DNG files to JPEGs for quick social media sharing. - Archiving camera RAW files into smaller, web-friendly JPEG formats while maintaining control over color saturation and brightness. - Batch-preparing client previews by resizing high-resolution DNG images to specific maximum widths or heights. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a DNG file? A DNG (Digital Negative) is a public archive format for RAW camera data, developed by Adobe to store uncompressed image information. ### Can I adjust the quality of the output JPEG? Yes, you can set the JPEG quality between 1 and 100, with 85 being the default balance between file size and image clarity. ### Does this tool preserve metadata from the original DNG? Yes, the converter automatically extracts and retains image dimensions and metadata from the RAW file during conversion. ### How do I recover overexposed areas in my DNG photo? You can use the Highlight Recovery option, adjusting the slider from 0 to 9 to restore details in blown-out highlights. ### Is there a file size limit for uploading DNG files? Yes, the tool supports uploading individual DNG RAW files up to 200 MB in size. ## Related tools - [Convert ARW to JPEG](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/arw-to-jpg): Convert Sony ARW RAW files to JPEG format.
