02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • A RAW photo from a Canon camera, converted at full resolution
  • Developed with the camera's own white balance into standard 8-bit sRGB color, ready to view and share
  • Saved as a JPG at quality 80, a good balance between sharpness and file size
  • Opens on every device, in every app and on every website

Good to know

  • The photo is developed automatically with the camera's white balance. There are no exposure, color or noise edits, so for fine control develop it in Lightroom or Camera Raw instead.
  • Support depends on the camera model: very new cameras can fail until they are supported. Files that were only renamed from another format are rejected.
  • JPG is lossy and has no transparency.
  • Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

CR2 vs JPG

CR2

A CR2 file is a RAW photo from a Canon camera. It holds the unprocessed sensor data, so it keeps maximum detail for editing, but it is huge and most apps, websites and phones can't open it. Converting it gives you a normal image, developed with the camera's own white balance.

Used in: Canon cameras · Professional photography · Photo editing

JPG

A JPG (or JPEG) file is the most common photo format — it compresses images by slightly reducing quality to keep file sizes small. It's what your phone camera, most cameras, and the web use by default for photos.

Used in: Photos & camera exports · Web pages & email · Social media uploads
