Need to turn a .dng file into TIFF? Citrus converts DNG to TIFF right on your Mac, offline, using Apple's own engines. Nothing is uploaded to any server, which matters for client work, private photos and contracts.
Citrus reads DNG files with the same RAW engine macOS uses in Photos and Preview. It works for cameras your version of macOS supports, and you get the developed image, not the sensor data.
Both formats are lossless, so pixels are preserved.
Resize by percent or pixels, crop, and choose whether to keep EXIF and location data, all before converting.
How to convert DNG to TIFF
Open Citrus from the menu bar (the citrus slice icon).
Drop your .dng file, or several, into the window. You can also drag a file onto the menu bar icon to open the quick wheel.
Choose TIFF as the output format and adjust options if you want, like size, quality or resolution.
Press Convert. Your new files appear next to the originals, and the originals are never changed.
About the formats
DNG: DNG is Adobe's open RAW format, also written by many phones and some cameras.
TIFF: TIFF is a lossless format used in printing, scanning and photo editing. Files are large but keep every pixel.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Citrus runs entirely on your Mac. Files are read and written locally and never sent to a server.
Can I convert many DNG files at once?
Yes. Drop a whole batch into Citrus and convert them all to TIFF in one go. Originals are never changed.
Does Citrus need an internet connection to convert DNG to TIFF?
