    What actually changes

    DNG and JPG are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The DNG's raw data is demosaiced and rendered to JPEG. Because DNG is an openly documented format, the conversion is more predictable than with proprietary raws, and the tone curve and colour matrix stored in the file are actually usable.

    Worth knowing first

    Not all DNGs contain raw mosaic data. Some are linear DNGs, and some phone DNGs are already partly processed, so the amount of editing latitude you are giving up varies a lot between sources.

    Questions

    DNG to JPG, answered

    Is a DNG the same as a raw file?

    It is a standardised raw container. Adobe's DNG converter can wrap most camera raws in it, and some cameras and phones write it natively.

    Why would I convert raw to DNG in the first place?

    Longevity and tool support. DNG is documented and read by everything, where proprietary raw formats depend on the vendor.
