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.

What is a JPEG file?
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in the world. The name comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed the standard in the early 1990s. JPEG files use lossy compression to reduce file size while maintaining acceptable image quality.
They are ideal for photos and web use but not for images that need frequent editing or high precision, as repeated saves degrade quality.
How to open JPEG files
JPEG files are universally supported. You can open them on any device — computer, tablet, or phone — with built-in apps or web browsers. Most photo editors also support JPEG natively.
If you want to convert JPEG to another format or resize it, AnyConv offers a fast and easy solution directly online.
