About Adobe DNG
DNG (Digital Negative) is an open RAW format Adobe published in 2004. Some cameras and phones save DNG directly, and other RAW files can be converted to it for archiving.
Leica, Pentax and Ricoh cameras, phones shooting in RAW mode, and Adobe Lightroom archives.
DNG is a container: how far the picture can be adjusted depends on the camera data stored inside.

About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Why convert photos to JPG? It is the one image format every website, app and photo service accepts, and at high quality settings the loss is invisible.
