How do I convert a PNG file to DCR?

Upload your PNG file to the converter. Select DCR as the output format, then click 'Convert'. After a few seconds, download the resulting DCR file. The tool re-encodes the PNG pixel data into a DCR container, preserving metadata such as DPI and color profile.

Why would I convert PNG to DCR instead of keeping the original PNG?

DCR is a raw image format used by professional cameras and editing software. Converting PNG to DCR lets you integrate your image into raw-based workflows, use high-bit-depth editing (up to 16-bit) in tools like Photoshop or Lightroom, and maintain consistency when archiving media for applications that exclusively read raw formats. It also makes the file compatible with certain legacy Kodak systems that do not accept PNG directly.

What happens to transparency and resolution when I convert PNG to DCR?

DCR does not support an alpha channel, so any transparency in the PNG is flattened to a solid background (usually white or black; we recommend setting a background before conversion). Resolution and DPI are stored as metadata tags in the DCR file. Color profiles (like sRGB or Adobe RGB) are embedded to ensure consistent color interpretation. The conversion is lossless for pixel data, so no compression artifacts are introduced.
