02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • A RAW photo from an older 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 lossless PNG, so no quality is lost in this step
  • Transparency is kept

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.
  • A full-size photo as PNG is large, often tens of megabytes. For sharing, JPG or WebP is much smaller.
  • Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

CRW vs PNG

CRW

A CRW file is a RAW photo from a Canon (older models) camera. 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.

Used in: Canon (older models) cameras · Photo editing

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency
