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 PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
