Converting CR2 to JPG: what to know
CR2 is the RAW format of Canon cameras, used by their DSLRs before CR3 arrived. It stores the sensor's raw data: the file is several times larger than a regular photo, and not every program and no website opens it.
The photo is developed automatically with default settings, without manual exposure or white balance correction. For fine-tuning use a RAW editor; for sharing, publishing and printing a JPG is enough, at quality 75 out of 100 by default; raise it in the settings for printing. EXIF metadata is not copied.
CR2 or JPG: which to choose?
CR2 (Canon Raw 2)
CR2 is the RAW format of Canon DSLR cameras with unprocessed sensor data.
Best for shooting with room for editing in Lightroom, darktable and other RAW editors.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is the most widely supported photo format: small files thanks to lossy compression, but no transparency.
Best for photos and images for the web, email and messengers where compatibility and size matter most.
What happens when converting CR2 to JPG
CR2 is a camera RAW file. It is developed with default settings, without manual exposure or white balance correction; for fine-tuning use a RAW editor.
JPG uses lossy compression. The default quality is 75 out of 100: lower values make the file smaller, higher values keep more detail.
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
CR2 files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
