Why convert DNG to HEIF?

People often ask why bother converting DNG at all. The short answer: HEIF handles Apple devices — efficient storage noticeably better. Converting DNG to HEIF extracts the small JPEG preview the camera embedded in the RAW file — it does not perform a full RAW decode (demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping) on the sensor data. The result is a quick, preview-quality image; for full-resolution processing, use dedicated RAW software like Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom. The technical reasoning aside, the real-world result is fewer format-related issues.

JPEG compression introduces minor quality loss — set quality to 90%+ to minimize
RAW conversion may take longer — files are processed via WebAssembly in your browser
