CR2 to JPG
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.

JPG (or JPEG) is one of the most widely used image file formats, favored for its efficient lossy compression algorithm that significantly reduces file size while maintaining a high image quality. It is commonly used for photographs and web graphics; however, the lossy nature of its compression means that some image quality is sacrificed, and this loss can be exacerbated with repeated editing and saving. JPG files support 24-bit color, allowing for a broad spectrum of colors, but they do not support transparent backgrounds.
