How do I convert a JPEG to RAW?

Upload your JPEG image, select RAW (DNG) as the target format, and click Convert. Our tool processes the file while preserving EXIF data and color profiles. Once done, download your .dng file and import it into any RAW editor like Photoshop or Lightroom.

Why convert JPEG to RAW instead of keeping JPEG?

JPEG is a lossy format that compresses your photo, discarding highlight and shadow detail. RAW (e.g., DNG) is designed for editing—it holds more color depth and allows you to adjust white balance, exposure, and contrast without losing quality. Converting JPEG to RAW won't restore lost data but enables a non-destructive editing workflow and compatibility with RAW-only tools.

What happens to color profiles, EXIF, and resolution during conversion?

Our converter keeps the original resolution, ICC color profile, and EXIF metadata intact. It also preserves the DPI value. Since the source is JPEG, the output DNG stores the same 8-bit or 12-bit data that was in the JPEG; no additional image information is created, and transparency is not retained because JPEGs don't support alpha channels.
