CR2 to DNG
File Converter

CR2 is a raw image file format used by Canon digital cameras, capturing all the data from the camera’s sensor without compression or processing. This format offers photographers the ability to make extensive post-processing adjustments, providing greater control over image quality, exposure, and color balance. However, CR2 files are larger in size compared to compressed image formats and require specialized software to view and edit.

DNG (Digital Negative) is an open-source raw image file format developed by Adobe, aimed at providing a universal and more standardized option for storing raw image data from digital cameras. This format enables extensive post-processing flexibility, allowing photographers to adjust exposure, color balance, and other settings while preserving image quality. DNG files also tend to be smaller in size compared to other raw formats, and they are widely supported across various software applications, making them a popular choice for photographers looking for both quality and compatibility.
