How to: CR2 to JPG Converter
- Select one or more CR2 files.
- Keep JPG selected and set quality or size.
- Click Start and download the JPG images (ZIP for batches).
Canon CR2/CR3 RAW is Canon’s RAW format. CR2 and CR3 files embed a full-resolution JPEG rendered with your camera’s Picture Style, which Fileopia extracts. You will meet it with Canon EOS DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. When you just need a normal JPG to share, upload or print, Fileopia converts it right in your browser.
Common uses
- Share CR2 files with people who don’t have the right software.
- Upload images to websites, marketplaces or social media that only accept JPG.
- Quickly preview and sort files without editing apps.
- Batch convert an entire folder in one go.
Tips for best results
- Quality 90 keeps JPGs visually identical to the source.
- Set a maximum width (e.g. 2048 px) for web and social media.
- Keep your originals – they contain more data than any export.
- PNG keeps transparency; JPG fills transparent areas with white.
How CR2 conversion works
RAW files are TIFF-like containers holding sensor data plus one or more JPEG previews. Fileopia scans the file for every embedded JPEG, picks the largest one, decodes it with your browser’s native decoder, applies the camera’s orientation tag and re-encodes it with your settings. It extracts the embedded camera-rendered preview rather than re-developing the sensor data, so white balance and exposure are as shot. To re-edit exposure, use Lightroom, darktable or RawTherapee.
Compared with other converters
Most online converters (CloudConvert, Convertio, Zamzar) upload your files, cap free use by size or per day and make you wait in a queue. Here there is no upload, no account and no limits, and the page works offline once loaded.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert CR2 to JPG without software?
Drop the files here and press Start. Fileopia reads the CR2 in your browser and saves JPG – no Photoshop, Lightroom or app install.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything runs on your device; even large files are never sent anywhere.
What exactly is converted?
It extracts the embedded camera-rendered preview rather than re-developing the sensor data, so white balance and exposure are as shot. To re-edit exposure, use Lightroom, darktable or RawTherapee.
Can I batch convert?
Yes – select a whole folder and download a ZIP. No daily limits.
Which devices work?
Any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, Android or iPhone.
Is JPG smaller than CR2?
Yes – a 20–30 MB RAW usually becomes a 3–8 MB JPG at high quality.
Why does my file fail?
Some very old or unusual cameras store only a small preview; you will see a clear message. Encrypted or corrupted files cannot be read.
Is EXIF kept?
No – the output is stripped of metadata, which also protects your location privacy.
