Lightroom is capable to convert JPGs into DNG. The DNG Converter unfortunately currently is not. Please add JPG support to the Adobe DNG Converter. Thank you very much for considering!

    Seriously, the request was made in 2014. Don't hold your breath any longer.

    Profit? Greed? Come on. Got to be better windmills to chase.

    What's next? Save PDF? 😜

      I agree with Gunter. There should be no reason to be non-inclusive with any capabilities of this program unless the thought is to profit further off of greed and control. Please consider this request seriously.

      I would add that it would be even cooler if DNG Converter could convert not only JPG but also Tiff files into DNG.

            We are well aware of this. I need it for LRTimelapse because of the way DNG files are designed.
            This feature is already implemented in Lightroom itself (you can convert / wrap a JPG sequence to into DNG containers in Lightroom) that's why I'm asking to please allow this in the DNG Converter itself also.
            It would tremendously help many timelapse photographers.

              You cannot make a "silk purse from a sow's ear" as the saying goes.
              TBMK Placing (converting) a JPG file in the DNG 'wrapper' does nothing to make it more accessible or more useful to image editors. It is still a JPG RGB file!
              (Except for Lr-Mobile users that can 'extract' develop adjustments and create Dev Presets from a DNG.)
