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?

Fast, reliable CR2 to PICT conversions focused on device sharing and cross-platform accessibility.

Efficient RAW Decode

Decodes Canon CR2 RAW frames quickly into device-ready raster images for immediate use.

Preserve Visual Fidelity

Maintains rendered pixel quality from RAW demosaic step rather than reprocessing exposures.

Cross-Platform PICT Output

Produces classic PICT bitmap containers for legacy macOS and cross-application viewing.

Local, Private Processing

Conversion runs client-side in browser memory to minimize external data transfer risk.

Batch Friendly

Process dozens of CR2 photos in grouped batches to streamline sharing workflows.

Adjustable Render Options

Choose rendering defaults like color space and resize for target device compatibility.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CR2 Source

Verify CR2 white balance and camera tuning before render to avoid color shifts in PICT
Convert CR2 RAW to the desired bit depth in settings to control highlight rolloff
Use lens correction metadata from CR2 when available to correct distortion prior to rasterizing
Export only needed crops from CR2 to reduce PICT output dimensions and file size
Ensure CR2 sidecar edits (XMP) are applied before conversion to embed edits into the resulting bitmap

PICT Output Strategy

Select target color space when rendering CR2 to PICT to align with macOS viewer profiles
Choose 8-bit or 16-bit render path depending on whether your viewer supports higher depth
If archival fidelity is required, also export a TIFF alongside PICT to retain more metadata
Resize or downsample CR2 during conversion when preparing PICT for mobile sharing to save bandwidth
Compress final PICT in a ZIP for bulk distribution to reduce transfer size without altering pixels

Validate on Target Apps

Open converted PICT in target macOS Preview or intended app to confirm color match after conversion
Check alpha or transparency rendering in the viewer because some apps flatten PICT differently
Inspect pixel-level sharpness at 100% to detect unwanted resampling artifacts from the demosaic
Compare CR2 histogram with converted PICT to ensure dynamic range mapping meets expectations
Test PICT on older macOS versions if recipients use legacy systems to ensure compatibility

Workflow Stability

Process CR2 batches in groups of 20-50 to limit browser memory and avoid conversion interruptions
Keep originals: archive CR2 files separately since PICT is a flattened rendition and not a RAW backup
Use local conversion to keep sensitive camera metadata from being uploaded to external servers
Close memory-heavy browser tabs during large CR2 to PICT batches to maintain throughput
Download and verify bundles immediately after conversion to prevent accidental data loss

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.
