About the CR2 format
CR2 (Canon Raw 2)
Canon used CR2 in its EOS DSLRs for many years until it switched to CR3 in 2018. The file holds the raw sensor data and an embedded preview, so a photo is several times larger than a JPG but leaves plenty of room to correct exposure and white balance.
Websites, messengers and most phones can't open CR2. Here the photo is developed automatically with default settings and saved as JPG or PNG; EXIF metadata is not carried over. A file can't be saved as CR2 - it's a camera format.
Best for shooting with room for editing in Lightroom, darktable and other RAW editors.
