If you do not wish to convert the RAW (DNG) image and want to view it while retaining the format – here’s how you can do so.

The default Photos app on your Windows PC lets you natively view DNG images. If you cannot view them, you can download a DNG viewer app for free like File Viewer Lite.

Further, you can also use an online DNG image viewer from your web browser. You can access this free tool called Photokit.

If you are facing issues while opening a DNG – RAW image on your Android device, you can download a file manager app that can open files of various formats. Solid File Manager is one such free app on the Play Store.
