Free Download Adobe DNG Converter latest version offline installer for Windows PC, enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files from the supported cameras listed below to a universal DNG raw file.

Overview of Adobe DNG Converter

Digital Negative (DNG) is a publicly available archival format for raw files generated by various digital cameras. This addresses the lack of an open standard for raw files created by individual camera models and ensures that photographers quickly access their files.

Hundreds of software manufacturers, such as Apple and Google, have developed support for DNG. And respected camera manufacturers such as Leica, Casio, Ricoh, Samsung, and Pentax have introduced cameras that provide direct DNG support.

In addition to the Digital Negative Specification, Adobe provides the free Adobe DNG Converter (Windows | Mac OS), quickly translating raw files from many of today's popular cameras. Software developers and manufacturers can download the complete DNG Specification (PDF, 486k). DNG is supported by the following software versions: Photoshop CS to Photoshop CC, Photoshop Elements 3 to Photoshop Elements 12, and all versions of Lightroom.

Camera Raw (2.3 or later) supports raw files in the Digital Negative (DNG), a raw file format made available to the public by Adobe.
