About DNG to PNG conversion
DNG is released by Adobe in 2004 as an open, royalty-free raw image specification and is the widely supported open standard for camera raw archiving and smartphone raw photos for open raw archiving, mobile smartphone RAW capture. PNG was created by PNG Development Group in 1996 and is best for logos, screenshots. Converting DNG to PNG gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where PNG is required. DNG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to PNG solves compatibility issues.
