For the Photographers: Preparing Your RAW Images

For the highest-quality results in Housegrid, we recommend converting your RAW files to compressed DNGs before uploading. This ensures smaller file sizes, maximum compatibility, and the most reliable results in our processing pipeline.

Step 1: Shoot in RAW

Capture your images in RAW format to preserve maximum dynamic range and detail. This gives Housegrid the most flexible image data to work with.

Step 2: Convert to DNG

Download Adobe DNG Converter (free from Adobe) and convert your RAW files to compressed DNG format. This significantly reduces file size while preserving full image quality.

Step 3: Upload to Housegrid

After converting, upload your DNG files to the Housegrid app or browser interface. Our system automatically optimizes your image for the best enhancement results.

Why This Workflow Matters

Converting to compressed DNG gives faster uploads, consistent processing, smaller file sizes, and full preservation of RAW sensor data—ensuring the cleanest, highest-quality enhancements from Housegrid.
