02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • A RAW photo from a Canon EOS R camera, converted at full resolution
  • Developed with the camera's own white balance into standard 8-bit sRGB color, ready to view and share
  • One PDF page that is exactly the size of the picture (not A4), with the image filling it
  • The developed photo is embedded as a high-quality JPEG (quality 92), which keeps the PDF a reasonable size

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.
  • The PDF contains only the picture. Text in the image is not recognized, so it cannot be selected or searched (there is no OCR).
  • One image becomes one page. To combine several images in one PDF, use the PDF tools of your viewer after converting.
  • Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

CR3 vs PDF

CR3

A CR3 file is the newer RAW photo format from Canon cameras (EOS R series and later). It holds the unprocessed sensor data, so it keeps maximum detail for editing, but most apps and websites can't open it. Converting it gives you a normal image, developed with the camera's own white balance.

PDF

A PDF file locks in exact layout, fonts, and pagination so it looks identical on every device — the standard for sharing finished documents, contracts, and anything meant to be printed rather than edited.
