Why Choose Our Converter?
Fast, accurate CR2 to PFM conversion designed for photographers and imaging workflows.
Fast Raw-to-Raster
Convert Canon CR2 raw files to PFM quickly using optimized in-browser decoding and single-pass rasterization.
High-Fidelity Tonal Range
Preserve linear floating-point representation in PFM for wide dynamic range retention from raw sensor data.
Batch Ready
Process dozens of CR2 files in one job with consistent exposure handling and predictable output naming.
Editing Friendly Output
PFM outputs are suited for high-end editors and numeric image pipelines that accept 32-bit floats.
Adjust Before Export
Apply exposure, white balance and color space mapping prior to PFM export to control final pixel values.
Client-Side Processing
Conversion runs in-browser to reduce uploads; files remain on the user device during processing.

Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare CR2 Decoding
- Disable camera-specific tone curves to export a linear raw when available
- Export or retain the CR2 sidecar XMP to preserve exposure and local edits
- Apply lens corrections in the raw decode to avoid baked distortions in PFM
- Select native white balance if you plan to remap color in float space later
- Verify demosaic settings for high-ISO CR2 files to reduce chroma artifacts
Handle PFM Storage
- Expect PFM sizes to expand several times compared to compressed CR2s when budgeting disk
- Compress PFM outputs into ZIP archives for transfer while keeping original CR2s intact
- Use lossless archive formats when storing PFM to preserve float precision
- Maintain a copy of original CR2s for provenance and potential re-decode
- Label PFM files with decode parameters to track color mapping choices
Verify Output Numerics
- Check highlight roll-off at 32-bit float precision to ensure no unintended clipping
- Compare white-balance-neutral patches between CR2-derived preview and PFM import
- Inspect shadow noise distribution since float expansion can reveal sensor noise
- Confirm channel ordering (RGB vs BGR) when loading PFM into downstream tools
- Validate any manual exposure compensation applied during conversion by histogram
Workflow Integration
- Map PFM outputs into HDR or compositing pipelines that accept float32 images
- Use external ICC transforms after conversion to standardize display rendering
- Keep CR2 originals for C2-specific firmware metadata that PFM will not carry
- Batch convert groups of similar exposure to maintain consistent tonal mapping
- Automate post-conversion conversion to TIFF or EXR if your editor lacks PFM support
