What is a DCR file?

DCR is a RAW image format used by Kodak professional and high-end digital cameras. It stores minimally processed sensor data to retain full control over exposure, white balance, and sharpness in post-production.

This format offers high bit depth and detailed color information, especially useful in studio and archival photography. DCR has largely been replaced by more universal RAW formats but is still used in legacy systems.

How to open DCR files

DCR files can be opened with Kodak’s original software, Adobe Photoshop, and compatible tools like Lightroom and RawTherapee. Some image viewers may require plug-ins or conversions to open DCR files properly.

For everyday access or sharing, you can convert DCR to JPG or PNG using AnyConv.

🎯 Did You Know?

The format tied to Kodak’s comeback attempt

In the late 1990s, Kodak introduced DCR for its professional digital cameras as part of an effort to stay competitive in the digital age. For a brief period, many studio photographers embraced it - but as Kodak stumbled in the transition to digital, DCR became one of the many “lost” RAW formats left behind by the company’s decline.
