Pro iPhones and recent Galaxy Ultra phones save RAW photos as DNG 1.7 with JPEG XL compression, and many RAW programs on Windows cannot read it. Contenta Converter reads these files on your PC and converts whole folders in one run. Nothing is uploaded.

Why other programs say the DNG is not supported

Since the iPhone 16 Pro, ProRAW can be saved as JPEG XL Lossless or JPEG XL Lossy. The file is still called .dng, but inside it is DNG 1.7 with JPEG XL image data. Programs built for older DNG versions stop there. In darktable, support for these files was still an open request in September 2026, and Lightroom 6 received its last update years before the format existed.

Contenta Converter decodes the JPEG XL image data itself, at the full 48 MP, and writes JPG, TIFF, PNG or WebP. You need no Mac, no subscription and no upload.

What we tested, with real files

On 21 September 2026 we converted photos straight from these phones to JPG and checked that each JPG has the full resolution. The table also lists what we have not been able to test.

Brightness checked again on 24 September 2026 with iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro and Galaxy S23 Ultra files: colours and brightness match the phone, and portrait shots come out upright. The phone saves its brightness information inside the DNG, and Contenta Converter applies it.

Questions about phone RAW files

Pro iPhones from the iPhone 16 Pro on can save ProRAW with JPEG XL compression. That makes the file a DNG 1.7, and programs written for older DNG versions cannot decode the image data. The file is not damaged. Contenta Converter decodes JPEG XL DNG files itself.

Tested with real files in September 2026: iPhone 17 Pro ProRAW in JPEG XL Lossless and in Most Compatible format (48 MP), iPhone 16 Pro ProRAW in JPEG XL Lossy (12 MP and 48 MP), Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Expert RAW (12 MP and 50 MP), a 200 MP RAW file from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Pro mode RAW files from the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and DNG files from the Galaxy S23 Ultra. All converted at full size. Not tested yet: iPhone 17 Pro JPEG XL Lossy straight from the phone, the iPhone 18 Pro, and Expert RAW from the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The trial converts your own files, so you can check before you pay.

Yes, in colour and in brightness. The phone saves its brightness information inside the DNG, and Contenta Converter applies it together with the camera white balance. In our tests on 24 September 2026 with iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro and Galaxy S23 Ultra files, the brightness of each JPG came within 10 percent of the phone's own version, and portrait shots came out upright. Edits you made in the Photos or Gallery app on the phone are not part of the RAW file, so they are not applied.

No. The conversion runs on your PC and works without an internet connection.

$129 once, with no subscription. The trial converts every file and lets you keep 10 results clean, so you can test your own ProRAW or Expert RAW files first.

Yes. Add a folder with its subfolders and convert everything in one run to JPG, TIFF, PNG or WebP. You can resize, rename and keep the EXIF data in the same pass.
