Library of Congress states that Adobe Digital Negative (DNG), Version 1.1 may be emerging as a standard preservation format for raw camera images.
Adobe provides a free (but not open-source) Adobe DNG Converter designed for downloading to Windows or Mac computers.
An open-source option for converting RAW image files to DNG is DigiKam DNGConverter.
