How do I convert DNG to HEIC on LetsConvert?

Upload your DNG RAW file directly on the page, choose HEIC as the output format, then click 'Convert'. The browser processes the image locally—no server upload—and preserves EXIF data. You can then download the converted HEIC image instantly. For batch conversions, simply select multiple DNG files at once before starting.

Why would I convert DNG to HEIC instead of using DNG directly?

DNG files are uncompressed or losslessly compressed RAW images that preserve every bit of sensor data, making them huge and only editable in specialized software. HEIC uses HEVC compression to reduce file size by 50-80% while maintaining visual quality, making it ideal for sharing on Apple devices, websites, and mobile storage. The trade-off is that HEIC loses some editing flexibility compared to DNG.

What happens to color profiles, EXIF data, and resolution when converting from DNG to HEIC?

Our converter keeps the original resolution and preserves color profiles (like sRGB, Adobe RGB, or Display P3) and EXIF metadata (camera, lens, ISO). However, because HEIC is based on lossy HEVC encoding, the RAW sensor data in DNG is discarded. This produces a much smaller file but removes the ability to recover highlights/shadows as aggressively as with DNG. For archival, keep a DNG master copy.
