How to Convert CR2 to JPG
Vizua is a free CR2 to JPG converter that uses an advanced RAW decoder directly in your browser. CR2 (Canon Raw version 2) is Canon's proprietary format that stores unprocessed sensor data — ideal for professional editing but impractical for sharing.
Converting CR2 to JPG makes your Canon photos universally compatible with any device, social media platform, or email client while reducing file size by 80-95%.
Why CR2 Files Need Converting
A single CR2 file from a Canon 5D Mark IV is typically 30-40 MB. Most web browsers, social media platforms, and messaging apps cannot display CR2 files directly. JPG is the universal standard for photo sharing.
Canon Cameras That Use CR2
- Professional — EOS 5D series (Mark I-IV), EOS 1D series
- Enthusiast — EOS 6D, 7D, 80D, 90D
- Entry-level — EOS Rebel series (T3i through T8i)
- Note — newer EOS R mirrorless cameras use CR3 format
Quality Control
The quality slider lets you balance file size and visual fidelity. At 90-95%, the JPG is nearly indistinguishable from the RAW source. At 75-85%, you get significantly smaller files suitable for web and email use.
100% Private — No Upload
Your CR2 files never leave your device. The advanced RAW decoder runs entirely in your browser — no server, no cloud, no third-party access.
