| Description | JPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality. |

DNG (Digital Negative) is Adobe's open RAW format, storing the full unprocessed sensor data captured by the camera. Phones, websites, social media platforms, and most email clients cannot display DNG files. Converting to JPEG gives you a universally compatible image with all EXIF metadata preserved — no Lightroom, no Camera Raw, no Adobe software required.
Adobe introduced DNG in 2004 as an open alternative to the dozens of proprietary RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF) each camera manufacturer uses. Unlike a JPEG, a DNG preserves the raw Bayer sensor data before any in-camera processing, giving photographers full latitude to adjust exposure, white balance, shadows, and highlights in post-production without quality loss.
DNG is used natively by Leica cameras (M11, Q2, SL2), Ricoh GR series, Sigma fp, Hasselblad X2D, DJI drones, Google Pixel phones, and many Pentax DSLRs. Adobe Lightroom and the free Adobe DNG Converter also convert other RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW) to DNG for archival storage.
| Property | DNG (RAW) | JPEG |
|---|---|---|
| Image data | Raw Bayer sensor output (12/14-bit) | Processed, compressed (8-bit) |
| Editing latitude | Full — exposure, white balance, HDR recovery | Limited — banding on heavy edits |
| File size | 20–80 MB (camera dependent) | 2–10 MB (quality 80–95) |
| Universal compatibility | Requires DNG-compatible software | Opens on every device |
| EXIF metadata | Full: GPS, focal length, ISO, shutter, aperture | Same EXIF preserved on conversion |
| Lossless | Yes (original sensor data) | No (JPEG compression) |
When converting DNG to JPEG, the converter copies all EXIF metadata from the DNG to the output JPEG: camera make and model, lens focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, GPS coordinates, capture date and time, and copyright information. The JPEG is fully traceable back to its photographic origin.
Google Pixel smartphones save RAW+DNG alongside JPEG when RAW capture is enabled in the Camera app. DJI Mavic, Air, and Mini drones save DNG alongside MP4 video when the RAW photo option is active. Both produce DNG files that are 20–50 MB. Converting to JPEG makes them shareable directly from your phone gallery or drone app without a desktop computer.
