Why Choose Our Converter?
Fast, photography-focused CR2 to OTB conversion with precise output control for editing and archival workflows.
Lossless / Fast Conversion
Efficiently transcodes CR2 raw sensor data into OTB image containers with minimal latency for studio batches.
Preserve Raw Detail
Retains linearized sensor data where possible so highlight and shadow detail remain available for post-processing.
High-Throughput Batches
Optimized for multi-file jobs; process dozens of CR2s with predictable CPU and memory patterns for studio use.
Editing-Friendly Output
OTB targets editing pipelines—files are structured for quick import into compatible toolchains and catalog systems.
Client-Side Processing
Conversions run in-browser memory; source CR2 files are not uploaded to third-party servers by default.
Export Control
Adjust output options like target color space and compression tier to match downstream retouching or archival needs.

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare CR2 Source
- Verify CR2 white balance and camera settings before export to avoid baked-in color shifts
- Remove in-camera JPEG previews if you need pure raw-derived raster in OTB
- Confirm exposure tags and lens corrections in CR2 metadata to maintain edit context
- Apply lossless pre-crop if you want smaller OTB rasters while preserving raw sample relations
- Group similar ISO and white balance shots for consistent batch demosaicing parameters
OTB Export Settings
- Select 16-bit OTB if you require increased tonal headroom from CR2 native samples
- Choose lossless OTB compression to minimize size growth while keeping edit fidelity
- Embed a target ICC profile on export because CR2 camera profiles vary by model
- Include EXIF copy when needed for cataloging; proprietary maker notes may still be dropped
- Generate a separate alpha mask in OTB if you need selection channels preserved for retouching
Workflow Integration
- Test OTB imports into your editor (Capture One, Photoshop with plugin) before full migration
- If your DAM lacks OTB support, export a TIFF alongside OTB to preserve interoperability
- Validate color by comparing CR2 raw render and OTB raster on calibrated displays
- Use sidecar XMP for non-standard metadata to ensure custom tags travel with the file
- Document conversion settings per shoot to reproduce tonal results across sessions
Verification & Performance
- Spot-check highlight and shadow recovery after conversion to confirm preserved raw headroom
- Process large batches in chunks of 20–50 CR2s to avoid browser memory growth
- Close other GPU-heavy apps when converting 24MP+ CR2 files to keep throughput stable
- Compare histogram peaks between CR2-derived preview and OTB export to detect clipping
- Store originals and converted OTBs separately; keep a verified archival copy for liability
Fast Processing
Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.
Client-Side Privacy
No media leaves your device.
Broad Compatibility
Output files work across all operating systems.
Pro Tip
For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
