EMF at a glance

EMF

Convert to EMF when placing vector graphics into Windows-centric documents, presentations, reporting systems, or print workflows that expect an Office-friendly scalable graphic.

It is suitable for charts, diagrams, and embedded illustrations in desktop-office environments.

For cross-platform web and design exchange, SVG or PDF are often better choices.

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.
