Convert CR2 to any format

CR2 is Canon’s original photo file from many of its digital cameras. Use it when you want the highest-quality image for editing before converting to an easy-to-share format like JPEG.

• •Great for editing: keeps lots of detail so you can adjust brightness, color, and shadows without ruining the picture.
• •Not ideal for sharing: many phones, websites, and apps can’t open CR2, so convert to JPEG or PNG for quick viewing and posting.
• •Larger file size: takes more storage than JPEG; converting can save space while keeping a copy of the original.
• •Best if you shot with a Canon camera and want maximum control over edits, then export a final JPEG for everyday use.
• •Smart workflow: keep the CR2 as your master file, and make smaller JPEG/PNG copies for email, printing, and social media.
• •Read only for conversion: you can convert CR2 into other formats, but you generally won’t create new CR2 files from other images.
