We’re making the same with raw images. Moreover, our service is free.

CR2 pros and cons

A great advantage of CR2 image files is that they are usually very high-quality. They contain a variety of uncompressed image data which was captured by your Canon digital camera at the moment of shooting, e.g. white balance, exposure, etc. This data can be post-processed, which means that it can be adjusted with the help of image-editing software programs and online converter raw.pics.io in particular. One of the disadvantages of CR2 images is that they are usually very heavy. They are 2 to 6 times bigger than similar JPG files, and take up a lot of space in your computer memory.
