PEF to DNG Conversion: FAQ

What are PEF files?

The PEF image format is used for creating RAW images with Pentax cameras. Shooting in RAW mode allows the camera to capture everything its sensors can register, thus preserving a huge amount of details — as opposed to JPEG or other compressed formats, which have predefined settings and are processed automatically. With PEF images, photographers have more freedom to change the image during digital post-processing without affecting its quality. With the help of specialized software, aspects such as lights, exposure and shadows can be customized in the image, highlighting or hiding particular details.

What are DNG files?

DNG (Digital Negative) is an archival RAW format associated with Adobe Photoshop. The main aim of creating this format was to establish a standardized archival format that is publicly available and widely accessible, and help professional photographers avoid the hassle of constantly converting between the different RAW formats associated with different camera brands. The DNG extension is supported by several types of software manufacturers, including Apple and Google, as well as by a wide array of camera brands, such as Casio, Samsung, Pentax, Ricoh etc.
