Supports: CR2 (Canon RAW)
RAW support varies by camera and file. The decoder may fall back to the embedded preview, so output resolution can be lower than the sensor data.
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 controls JPEG encoding after decoding. Higher settings preserve more of the decoded result; output resolution and detail still depend on whether sensor data or an embedded preview was available.
Local File Processing
The selected CR2 file is decoded and exported on your device rather than uploaded to an image-processing server. Compatibility and output resolution vary by camera file and browser resources.
