## Overview

Convert your Leica RAW (.raw or .dng) camera files directly into high-quality JPEG images. This online tool automatically extracts image dimensions and metadata while giving you precise control over output quality, dimensions, brightness, saturation, and highlight recovery.

## Inputs

- **Leica RAW File** (file): Select Leica RAW file (.raw/.dng)
- **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 quickly share or preview photos taken on your Leica camera without importing them into heavy editing software.
- When you want to compress large Leica RAW/DNG files into web-friendly JPEGs with custom dimensions and quality settings.
- When you need to recover highlights, adjust brightness, or tune saturation on a Leica RAW image during the conversion process.

## How it works

- Upload your Leica RAW (.raw or .dng) file up to 200MB.
- Adjust optional settings including JPEG quality, output width/height, brightness, saturation, and highlight recovery.
- Click convert to process the file and download your optimized JPEG image.

## Use cases

- Converting Leica DNG files to JPEG for instant social media sharing.
- Resizing high-resolution Leica RAW photos for web portfolios.
- Quick exposure and color adjustments on RAW files without using desktop raw processors.

## Frequently asked questions

### What Leica RAW file formats are supported?

The tool supports both .raw and .dng files generated by Leica cameras.

### Can I resize my image during conversion?
