CR2 is Canon's RAW format (2004-2018) — used by EOS and PowerShot cameras. CR2 captures maximum detail but isn't viewable on most devices. JPG makes your photos universal.

Canon CR2 files contain unprocessed sensor data from EOS and PowerShot cameras (2004-2018). Maximum detail and editing latitude — but CR2 isn't viewable on most devices, browsers, or social media. Converting to JPG applies automatic tone mapping and produces a universal, shareable image.

The converter decodes the CR2 RAW data using libraw, applies automatic white balance, exposure, and color adjustments, and encodes the result as a high-quality JPG (quality 92%). Resolution and EXIF metadata are preserved.

CR2 file fails to convert

Newer Canon cameras use CR3 format (not CR2). Use a CR3 converter for those files.

Colors look different from what I saw in camera

Automatic tone mapping uses a standard profile. Use Canon Digital Photo Professional for exact camera-rendered colors.

File is very large

JPG at quality 92 with full sensor resolution produces large files. Resize after conversion for smaller files.
