CR2 to JPEG Converter

CR2 (Canon Raw version 2) is Canon's proprietary raw image format used by Canon digital cameras. It contains minimally processed data directly from the camera's image sensor, preserving the maximum amount of original capture information.

CR2 files store uncompressed or lightly compressed raw data with higher bit depth than processed formats, allowing for significant post-processing flexibility without image degradation.

These files include all the original sensor information including wider dynamic range, higher bit depth color, and camera metadata, giving photographers maximum control over developing their images.

CR2 files can be opened with Canon's Digital Photo Professional software, which is specifically designed to process Canon raw files.

Professional photo editing applications like Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw (part of Photoshop), Capture One, and DxO PhotoLab provide full support for CR2 files.

For basic viewing without editing capabilities, software like FastStone Image Viewer and IrfanView (with raw plugins) can display CR2 files.

To convert CR2 files to universal formats like JPEG, TIFF, or PNG, use our raw converter that applies optional adjustments like exposure, white balance, and noise reduction during conversion.

For archival purposes, consider converting CR2 files to DNG (Digital Negative) format, which maintains raw data capabilities while providing better long-term compatibility.

Our batch conversion tools allow processing entire photoshoots at once, applying consistent adjustments and naming conventions to streamline your workflow.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used image format known for its excellent compression capabilities without compromising visual quality. This format is perfect for photographs and web images, as it significantly reduces file size, making it ideal for online use and sharing. Supported extensions include .jpg and .jpeg.

JPEG files are compatible with almost every device and platform, making them a universal choice for image storage and sharing. They are especially suited for digital photography and web graphics, maintaining a balance between quality and file size. Use JPEG for efficient and visually appealing image storage.

Opening JPEG files is straightforward as they are supported by almost all image viewers and editors. On Windows, you can use the built-in Photos app or third-party software like Adobe Photoshop. On Mac OS, Preview is a default application that handles JPEG files seamlessly.

For Linux users, applications like Shotwell or GIMP can be used to open and edit JPEG images. Additionally, web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox can display JPEG files directly. If you encounter issues opening JPEG files, ensure your software is up-to-date or try a different viewer.

Converting JPEG files is easy with our online converter. Whether you need to change the format for better compatibility or reduce the file size, our tool offers quick and free conversion. Simply upload your JPEG image, select the desired output format, and click convert.
