Transform your professional camera raw shots into standard, lightweight JPG files instantly with batch support.
CR2 (Canon Raw 2) is Canon's proprietary raw image format, introduced with the EOS-1D Mark II in 2004 as the successor to the older CRW format. Structurally, CR2 files are built on the TIFF container format, storing minimally processed sensor data alongside an embedded JPEG preview for fast thumbnails. Because no in-camera processing is baked in, CR2 files retain the full dynamic range and color information captured at the moment of exposure, giving photographers maximum flexibility when adjusting exposure, white balance, and color in post-processing software before exporting to a shareable format like JPG.
JPG is the most common file extension for images compressed with the JPEG standard, published in 1992. It applies lossy compression based on the discrete cosine transform, splitting images into small blocks and discarding visually insignificant detail to shrink file size. The compression level is adjustable: higher quality keeps more detail at a larger size, while lower quality trades visible artifacts for a much smaller file. JPG supports 24-bit true color and embeds Exif metadata such as camera model and capture date. Its biggest strength is universal compatibility — it is the native output of virtually every camera and phone, and opens in every browser, viewer, and operating system without exception.
RAW formats like Canon CR2 capture uncompressed sensor data resulting in massive file sizes that standard web browsers, gallery apps, and social media platforms cannot read natively. Converting them to JPG unlocks immediate compatibility, making your high-resolution photography ready for web sharing, editing, and archiving.
