What is a CR2 file?
CR2 stands for Canon Raw version 2. It’s a raw image format used by Canon digital cameras to store unprocessed photo data directly from the camera's sensor. Unlike JPG, CR2 files retain all the detail and allow for extensive editing without quality loss.
This format is based on the TIFF standard and is widely used by professional photographers who need full control over exposure, color correction, and post-processing.
How to open CR2 files
CR2 files can be opened using Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP), Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and many other photo editing tools. Free alternatives include RawTherapee and darktable.
If you just need to convert a CR2 file to a more accessible format like JPG or PNG, AnyConv makes the process fast and easy — directly in your browser, with no software required.
