DNG at a glance
DNG
Convert to DNG when you need a standardized raw master for archival storage, cross-tool editing, or camera-original normalization.
It is a strong target when long-term raw accessibility matters.
WMF at a glance
WMF
Convert to WMF when preserving compatibility with older Windows document workflows, embedded legacy graphics, or archive recovery tasks where that classic metafile format is still expected.
It is useful as a bridge for historical Office-era vector assets.
For contemporary vector exchange, EMF, SVG, or PDF are usually more practical.
