Common questions about Adobe DNG
Why won't my software open the DNG file from a brand-new camera? Each sensor generation adds new tags that older converters don't understand — converting the DNG to JPG sidesteps the compatibility problem entirely.
Can every device open DNG files? DNG is Adobe's open raw format and is recognised by macOS, recent iPhones and many Android apps, but Windows still needs a codec and older software does not list it. Converting to JPG or TIFF is the safest way to share one.
