CR2 to JPG converter
A free CR2 to JPG converter that also writes PNG and WebP, entirely in your browser. CR2 is what Canon DSLRs wrote for over a decade, and it opens almost nowhere outside photo software. This lifts the full-size JPEG Canon stored inside the file and converts it, entirely in your browser.

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas become white. Converted files don’t keep EXIF or color profile data.
Runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
How to convert a CR2
- Add your CR2 filesDrag them onto the panel or browse for them. A card's worth of CR2 files is a lot of data, and all of it is read locally.
- Choose an output formatJPG for something you can email or upload immediately, PNG for a lossless copy of the extracted image, WebP when size matters most.
- Convert and downloadEach CR2's embedded JPEG is extracted and re-encoded. A single file saves directly; several arrive as one ZIP with the size saved shown.
Questions about converting CR2
No, and it does not claim to. Canon writes a full-size JPEG into every CR2 alongside the sensor data; this tool extracts that JPEG and converts it to the format you pick, which is why it is instant and why nothing needs uploading. If you want to actually develop the raw file — your own white balance, highlight recovery, lens corrections — use Canon's Digital Photo Professional, Lightroom, or darktable.
Yes — drop them here or use the CR3 page. Canon switched to CR3 with the EOS R and M50 in 2018, and it is a completely different container: it is built on the same box structure as MP4 rather than the TIFF layout CR2 uses, so a second reader had to be written for it. Both end in the same place, the full-size JPEG the camera embedded.
Yes — that is precisely what it is. The embedded preview is Canon's own rendering of the shot, using whatever Picture Style was active when you took it, so a shot taken in Monochrome comes out monochrome and one shot with a heavy contrast profile keeps that profile. This is the camera's interpretation, not a neutral one.
One file is free. Four hundred, on brand, in every size, is what we do.
