What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Convert Canon CR2 raw photos to PAM raster files for reliable editing, archiving, and web-ready workflows.

Fast Raw-to-Raster

Quickly decode CR2 sensor data into PAM pixels for immediate post-processing or archival export.

High-Fidelity Decoding

Maintain native Bayer demosaic quality and full-resolution output when rasterizing CR2 sensor captures to PAM.

Universal Raster Output

PAM produces a simple, uncompressed raster container accepted by many editors and conversion chains.

Batch Conversion

Process multiple CR2 files in one session to generate consistent PAM outputs for web pipelines or archival sets.

Adjustable Decode Options

Control white balance, color matrix selection and basic demosaic mode before exporting to PAM.

Local Client Processing

Files are decoded in browser memory; upload to remote servers is not required for conversion.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CR2 Source

Verify CR2 black level and white balance tags before demosaic to avoid clipped shadows
Prefer original CR2 captures over in-camera processed JPG to retain sensor detail
Inspect Canon MakerNotes for camera-specific exposure compensation that affects color conversion
Use sidecar XMP to record any manual adjustments applied prior to PAM export
Crop and linearize raw data only after confirming demosaic and color transform results

Configure PAM Output

Select 16-bit PAM when preserving CR2 tonal gradation from 14-bit sensors
Enable alpha channel in PAM only if compositing masks are produced during decode
Store a separate ICC profile file matched to your chosen color matrix for downstream color-managed tools
Pack PAM files into ZIP for long-term storage to reduce the large uncompressed footprint
Set consistent output dimensions to streamline subsequent web resampling and CDN processing

Integrate with Editors

Import PAM into ImageMagick or Netpbm for scripted batch edits that preserve pixel precision
Convert PAM to TIFF for compatibility with Photoshop while retaining 16-bit channels
Use PAM as an intermediate before exporting WebP or JPEG for web delivery to avoid repeated raw decodes
Validate color by opening PAM in a color-managed viewer with your exported ICC profile loaded
When using Capture One or Lightroom, prefer exporting to TIFF from those editors rather than PAM for round-trip edits

Verify Metadata & Workflow

Extract EXIF from CR2 into sidecar files if you need exposure, GPS, or MakerNote reliability
Don't assume MakerNotes are preserved in PAM; confirm by inspecting sidecars after export
Run a sample conversion to check that file naming and timestamp metadata align with CMS ingestion rules
Automate checksum generation for converted PAM files to ensure integrity across transfers
Schedule batch conversions in groups of 20–50 to avoid browser memory pressure and verify outputs incrementally

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.
