How do I convert HEIC to RAW using LetsConvert?

Upload your HEIC images to LetsConvert, choose RAW (e.g., DNG) as the output format, and click Convert. You can batch-select multiple files for simultaneous conversion, then download the resulting RAW files locally.

Why would I need to convert HEIC to RAW?

HEIC uses HEVC compression to save space but lacks broad support in professional editing tools. RAW formats like DNG store unprocessed image data, offering higher bit depth and dynamic range for non-destructive editing. Converting ensures compatibility with Photoshop, Lightroom, and Capture One.

Does converting HEIC to RAW preserve quality and metadata?

Yes, the conversion preserves the image's resolution, color profile, EXIF metadata, and alpha channel if present. However, it cannot restore details lost during HEIC compression; the output is a lossless repackaging of the HEIC's pixel data into a RAW container, not a true camera sensor file.
