Free Online Canon CR2 to PNG Converter

Convert Canon CR2 (Canon Raw Version 2) files to lossless PNG format online. CR2 is the TIFF-based RAW format written by Canon EOS DSLR and PowerShot cameras equipped with DIGIC II through DIGIC 7 image processors (such as the EOS 5D Mark II/III/IV, 6D, 7D, and Rebel/xxD series). Because CR2 files store 12-bit or 14-bit lossless JPEG-compressed Bayer sensor data, standard web browsers and many image editors cannot open them directly.

Why convert CR2 to PNG instead of JPG?

  • Lossless pixel preservation: Unlike JPEG, which applies 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and lossy 8×8 DCT quantization, PNG uses lossless DEFLATE compression so demosaiced fine detail, sharp edges, and smooth sky gradients are stored without compression artifacts.
  • Ideal for further editing: Exporting CR2 to PNG gives you a clean intermediate file for compositing, masking, or retouching in applications that lack a Canon RAW decoder.
  • Automatic EXIF orientation: Camera orientation flags embedded by Canon bodies are automatically applied so portrait shots appear upright.

How to convert CR2 to PNG

  1. Upload your CR2 file — Select the .cr2 photo from your computer or paste a URL.
  2. Click "Convert to PNG!" — The RAW sensor data is demosaiced and encoded as a lossless PNG.
  3. Download or edit — Save the PNG file, or use our compress PNG, resize, or crop tools.
