Convert Kodak RAW images (KDC) online for free
The converter easily converts your KDC RAW images to various formats - free and online. No Adobe Lightroom or or other Camera Raw software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Kodak RAW Image" file type, you need software like Adobe Lightroom or a similar tool.
The .KDC file extension primarily represents a Kodak Digital Camera RAW image. Built on the TIFF specification, these files store uncompressed, unprocessed optical data exactly as it was captured by the camera sensor. A secondary, completely unrelated use of the .KDC extension is as a Kaspersky Antivirus Signature Database file, which holds compiled virus definitions for Kaspersky Lab security products.
Users frequently encounter significant challenges when dealing with .KDC image files. Because the format is proprietary and heavily tied to obsolete Kodak hardware and the discontinued Kodak EasyShare ecosystem, modern web browsers and default operating system image viewers cannot read them. They demand heavy, specialized software like Adobe Lightroom or RawTherapee. Furthermore, RAW files are extremely large, making them impractical for web sharing, email attachments, or quick mobile viewing.
Converting .KDC files is the best way to restore their utility. Target formats like JPG and PNG are ideal for fast sharing, though converting to these lossy formats sacrifices the rich, uncompressed color depth and editing flexibility of the original RAW file. If you want to retain the raw sensor data for future editing without relying on outdated Kodak software, converting to the open DNG (Digital Negative) format is the best approach.
Because this file format is essentially a proprietary, closed system, standard online converters often fail to read the complex, modified TIFF headers. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the exact format, inspect the internal data, and convert it when supported. Even if the full RAW data requires specialized rendering, convert.guru can often detect the embedded thumbnail previews, making viewing and basic conversion possible.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our KDC converter.
