CRW to PBM
File Converter

CRW was one of the early raw image file formats used by Canon digital cameras. It captures all the data from the camera’s sensor without any compression or processing, preserving the maximum amount of image information for post-processing. However, this format has largely been superseded by the newer CR2 and CR3 formats, which provide more advanced features and better compression. CRW files require specialized software for viewing and editing, and they are generally larger in size compared to standard compressed image formats.

PBM stands for Portable Bitmap, and it is a monochrome image format that is part of the Netpbm package. It stores image data as a series of ASCII or binary values representing each pixel in the image, with 1s representing black pixels and 0s representing white pixels. PBM files are simple and easy to read but can be quite large since they do not use any compression.
