The Adobe Photoshop Document format preserves non-destructive editing layers, masks, adjustment layers, and smart objects in a proprietary Adobe format. Converting to DNG produces a image file that stores data in the DNG format. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Colour profiles and orientation metadata are preserved in the output. This makes DNG the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the target format offers better compatibility or compression. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
