DNG vs BMP Format Comparison
Aspect | DNG (Source Format) | BMP (Target Format) |
---|---|---|
Format Overview |
DNG
Digital Negative
Open-source RAW format developed by Adobe for universal compatibility. Raw |
BMP
Bitmap
Simple raster format developed by Microsoft, storing pixel data without compression. Legacy |
Compression | Lossless compression; preserves all original camera sensor data. |
Typically uncompressed; optional RLE compression for simple images. |
Color Depth | 16-bit per channel with extensive color information and metadata. |
1, 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits per pixel; commonly 24-bit RGB. |
File Size | Large (15–25 MB+ depending on camera resolution and settings). |
Very large when uncompressed; file size = width × height × color depth. |

Why Convert DNG to BMP?
Converting DNG (Digital Negative) to BMP is useful when you need simple, uncompressed pixel data for basic image processing or legacy system compatibility. While DNG preserves maximum image quality and editing flexibility, BMP provides universal compatibility with older software and systems. This conversion is ideal for situations requiring simple image storage without metadata, or when working with applications that don't support RAW formats but need uncompressed image data.
