KDC to PNG Converter

Kodak DC120 Digital Camera RAW (KDC) is an obsolete raw file format that stores images in 24-bit color. KDC was first produced by Kodak’s DC50 camera and then continued with the DC120 camera, which had a 1280 x 960 pixel charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor. At the time, KDC was an improvement on the raw images produced by earlier versions of Kodak’s DC Series of compact digital cameras, which were popular in the 1990s to 2000s. 

How to open a KDC file?

When this file type was supported, Kodak included a compact disc (CD) with the camera that contained Kodak Picture Transfer software. Depending on your current operating system, this program might or might not work. Instead, try a more modern program that supports KDC files, such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (Lightroom), which works on Microsoft Windows and macOS. 

Alternatively, try darktable, which is cross-platform, open-source, and free. Besides Lightroom, other paid programs that can open KDC include ACDSee Photo Manager , HDR Darkroom, and Corel PaintShop Pro.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster-based file type that compresses images for portability. PNG images can have RGB or RGBA colors and support transparency, which makes them perfect for use in icons, or graphic designs. PNG also supports animations with better transparency (try our GIF to APNG). The benefits of using PNG are Plus, PNG is an open format that uses lossless compression. 

How to open a PNG file?

Generally, PNG files will open in your operating system’s default image viewer. PNG files are also easily viewable on all web browsers. If you are having trouble opening PNG files, use our PNG to JPG, PNG to WebP, or PNG to BMP converters.

Alternative programs such as GIMP or Adobe Photoshop are useful for opening and editing PNG files. PNG files are a bit larger than other file types, so exercise caution when adding them to a web page. One interesting feature of PNG files is the ability to create transparency in the image, particularly a transparent background.
