It's important to note that online converters may have file size limitations and may not always produce the highest quality conversions. Additionally, it's always a good idea to backup your original NEF files before converting them to a different format.

There are some limits to consider when using online converters:

1. File size limitations: Most online converters have limits on the size of the files that can be uploaded for conversion. If you have large NEF files, you may need to compress them before uploading them to the online converter.

2. Quality concerns: Online converters may not always produce the highest quality conversions due to compression or other factors. It's always a good idea to review the output files carefully to ensure they meet your quality standards.

3. Security concerns: Uploading your files to an online converter may pose security risks. Make sure to use a reputable converter that encrypts your files and doesn't store them on their servers.

4. Speed: Online converters can be slower than desktop software, especially if you have a large number of files to convert. Additionally, if you have a slow internet connection, the upload and download times can be significant.

Overall, batch converting NEF to DNG online can be a useful tool, but it's important to consider the limitations and choose a reputable converter that meets your needs. If you need to convert large numbers of files frequently, it may be worth investing in desktop software that can handle batch conversions more efficiently.
