When Do You Need to Convert CR2 to JPG?
Canon CR2 RAW files are large, require specialist software to open, and can't be shared or uploaded to most platforms. Converting to JPG makes your photos instantly shareable, web-ready, and compatible with every device and application — without needing Lightroom or Photoshop.
About CR2 and JPG
image/x-canon-cr2
CR2 files store unprocessed image data captured by Canon DSLR cameras. They provide maximum flexibility for adjusting exposure, color balance, and dynamic range during post-processing. CR2 files are larger than JPEGs but retain far more image detail.

Stream of standard JPEG images sent via pipe.
Conversion Notes
CR2 is a lossless RAW format that preserves all sensor data, including metadata like exposure and colour temperature. Converting to JPG applies demosaicing and colour processing, resulting in a smaller, widely-compatible file. If JPG uses lossy compression, some fine detail is traded for size. For archival work, keeping the original CR2 alongside the converted file is recommended.
