CR2JPGCR2 to JPG Converter
CR2 is Canon's raw format from most DSLRs and older mirrorless bodies, and it is useless outside software that can develop it. PhotoTray decodes the full raw data locally and gives you JPGs — a whole shoot at once, with the CR2 files kept exactly as they are.
Drop in your files — JPGs land in the folder you pick — your CR2 files are never modified.
Why convert
Why convert CR2 to JPG
Canon shooters end up with folders full of files nobody else can open. Before any editing happens you generally want to review the shoot, send a client a selection, or upload something — and every one of those needs a JPG. Doing that for six hundred frames by hand is the problem this solves.
- Reviewing a shoot without opening each frame in a raw editor.
- Client proofs from someone who does not have Canon's software.
- Uploading to a service that rejects raw files.
- Making an old CR2 archive viewable again.
