About Converting RAW to PNG
RAW files store the unprocessed sensor data straight from a camera, preserving maximum detail and dynamic range for editing. They must be converted to a standard format for sharing. When you need to move away from RAW, the usual reason is simple: huge files.
Converting your RAW image to PNG solves that. PNG is a lossless raster image format that supports a full alpha-transparency channel. It is the standard choice for screenshots, logos, icons and any graphic with sharp edges or text where quality must be preserved exactly. In practice you gain lossless compression keeps every pixel intact and full alpha transparency. PrivConvert runs the whole RAW-to-PNG conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the PNG is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.
