What Is This Tool?

This tool is designed to convert Canon RAW image files (CR2 and CR3) into widely supported image formats such as JPG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, BMP, AVIF, HEIC, and SVG.

It allows you to:

• Upload multiple RAW files

• Choose your preferred output format

What Are CR2 and CR3 Files?

CR2 and CR3 are RAW image formats used by Canon cameras.

These files:

• Store unprocessed image data directly from the camera sensor

• Contain high-quality image information

• Are typically large in size

• Require special software or conversion to be viewed as standard images

Because many applications and websites do not support RAW formats directly, converting them to standard formats like JPG or PNG makes them easier to share and use.

Supported Input Files

This converter accepts:

• .CR2 files

• .CR3 files

Each file can be up to 150 MB in size.

Files with other extensions are automatically rejected during upload validation.

Supported Output Formats

You can convert CR2 and CR3 files into the following formats:

• JPG

• PNG

• WEBP

• TIFF

• BMP

• AVIF

• HEIC

• SVG

The desired output format is selected using radio buttons before conversion.

Output Format Behavior

Each format is saved with appropriate handling:

• JPG: Saved in RGB mode with quality optimization

• PNG: Saved with optimization enabled

• WEBP: Saved with compression and quality settings

• TIFF: Saved with compression

• BMP: Converted to RGB if needed

• AVIF: Attempts conversion; if unsupported, falls back to PNG

• HEIC: Attempts conversion; if unsupported, falls back to PNG

If a format fails (such as AVIF or HEIC), a PNG fallback file may be created and returned with a warning.
