DNA Kit Studio / Windows file utilities

Your DNA files.
Ready for the next step.

Inspect a RAW export, convert its format or extract the records you need. A practical desktop toolkit for working with compatible DNA files on your own computer.

File preparation: Conversion and extraction for compatible RAW exports.
Local workflow: Use the Windows utilities without a website DNA upload.
Two download options: Portable ZIP or MSI installer for the published 3.0 build.

The toolkit

Choose a task.
Keep control of the file.

Start with the operation you need. The Windows toolkit brings file preparation and inspection together, with individual modules for more specific work.

Convert a format: RAW Converter prepares a supported output format from the records available in your input file. Check the receiving tool's requirements first.
Inspect the data: RAW Explorer lets you inspect records. RAW Analyzer provides file summaries for reviewing the input before another workflow.
Compare files: RAW Comparer and RAW Segment Comparer provide comparison utilities. Interpret results in light of file coverage, format and the operation selected.
Merge compatible inputs: RAW Merger includes single and batch workflows. Keep the source files and review the combined output rather than treating a merge as a new measurement.
Extract or adjust records: RAW Chromosome Extract, RAW Segment Extract and RAW Manipulator support targeted file work. Use copies and validate the exported records.

A considered workflow

Prepare. Work. Review.

Make the next step deliberate. Keep the original available so you can compare, repeat or choose a different format.

Keep an original
Before opening the toolkit
Download the RAW export from your provider and save an untouched backup. Work on a copy and identify the file's provider, format and version.
Choose the operation
Inside DNA Kit Studio
Open the matching module, select a compatible input and review its settings. Save the output separately from the original.
Check the result
Before downstream use
Review the exported file and the destination's requirements. Conversion or merging does not guarantee acceptance by a third-party service.

Compatible inputs

Start with the export you have.

Supported RAW exports include formats from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FTDNA, MyHeritage, LivingDNA and Geno. Provider names identify file sources; they do not imply endorsement.

Support varies by format and version. A filename or provider name alone does not confirm compatibility.

Check the source: Use a supported RAW genotype export and review the module's accepted inputs. Shared-match segment lists are a different type of file.
Check the destination: Select an output format supported by the next tool. That service controls its own upload and acceptance rules.
Keep expectations clear: Reformatting existing records does not create new measured markers or turn a file into a clinical result.

MSI installer

Installer-based setup

Download the Windows MSI package and follow its installation prompts. Use the same backup and output checks as the portable version.

Local processing / Responsible use

Your files deserve care.

The Windows RAW-file conversion and analysis workflow runs locally on your computer. You do not need to upload DNA to this website to use the toolkit.

Read the website privacy policy

Keep backups: This is beta software. Keep an untouched copy of each input and validate outputs before using them elsewhere.
Protect exports: Genetic files contain sensitive information. Consider where you save them, who can access them and the requirements of any service you choose to share them with.
Use within its scope: File utilities support research and genetic-genealogy workflows. They do not provide medical diagnosis or proof of a family relationship.

A separate mobile edition

Working on Android?

DNA Kit Studio is also available on Google Play, with supported file conversion, extraction, SNP exploration and summary tools. Review the listing for current device requirements and features.

The Android app is a separate edition. Its feature set should be checked independently of the Windows modules above.

What is DNA Kit Studio?

DNA Kit Studio is a free Windows beta application for converting, inspecting, comparing, merging and extracting compatible RAW DNA files. It is a file utility for research and genetic-genealogy workflows, not a medical or diagnostic service.

Which DNA files can I use?

The Windows toolkit works with supported RAW exports from providers such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FTDNA, MyHeritage, LivingDNA and Geno. Compatibility depends on the file format and version. Check the input and output options in the application; not every export or receiving service is supported.

Should I choose the ZIP or MSI download?

Both downloads are the published Windows 3.0 build. Extract the portable ZIP and run DnaKitStudio.exe, or use the MSI package for an installer-based setup. Check compatibility with your Windows environment before use.

Do I need to upload my RAW file to this website?

No website upload is needed to use the Windows toolkit. Its RAW-file conversion and analysis workflow runs locally on your computer. The website, download hosting and separate Google Play listing are separate services; see the privacy policy for website information.

Does conversion add more DNA data?

No. Conversion reorganizes the available records into a supported output format. It does not measure additional DNA markers or guarantee acceptance by another service. Review the output before using it downstream.

What precautions should I take?

Keep an untouched backup of every input, work on copies and validate exported files. DNA Kit Studio is beta software. Protect your genetic files and share them only when you understand the receiving service and its requirements.

Is the Android edition the same as the Windows toolkit?

The separate DNA Kit Studio Android app provides supported file conversion, extraction, SNP exploration and summary tools. Check its Google Play listing for current requirements and features. Do not assume that every Windows module is included on Android.

Is this the same as DNA Segment Studio?

No. DNA Kit Studio works with compatible RAW genotype files. DNA Segment Studio is a separate legacy beta utility that compares two shared-segment tables with a common match to investigate possible inferred matches.

Reading ancient and modern DNA since 2018

DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.
