Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare RAW for Conversion
- Inspect CR2 exposure and apply minimal highlight recovery before export to reduce clipping in RGB
- Verify camera white balance tags in CR2 so the decoder applies consistent color matrices to RGB
- Remove unnecessary CR2 proprietary maker notes if you do not need them in final RGB metadata
- Convert CR2 to RGB using 16-bit when available to retain sensor tonal gradation during edits
- Crop or rotate in CR2-aware viewers prior to conversion to avoid resampling artifacts in final RGB
Choose Target Encoding
- Select TIFF with lossless compression for archival RGB to preserve highest detail from CR2 decode
- Use PNG for lossless 8/16-bit per-channel RGB exports intended for web graphics without JPEG artifacts
- Pick JPEG only for delivery when smaller file size and lossy compression are acceptable
- Embed ICC profile (Adobe RGB or ProPhoto) if color-managed editing is required downstream
- Avoid converting directly to 8-bit sRGB when planning heavy retouching to prevent posterization
Validate Converted Outputs
- Compare histograms between CR2 raw render and RGB output to detect clipping introduced by tone mapping
- Open RGB exports in your target editor (Photoshop, Lightroom) to check color profile interpretation
- Confirm EXIF focal length and timestamp fields were transferred correctly for cataloging workflows
- Zoom to 100% to inspect demosaic artifacts or color fringing from CR2 Bayer interpolation
- Test a representative sample of different ISO shots from the CR2 batch to validate noise rendering
Performance and Privacy Practices
- Run large CR2 batches in groups of 20–50 to balance memory use and avoid browser timeouts
- Keep originals: archive CR2 master files separately before converting to RGB for distribution
- Close other memory-heavy tabs to allow the browser decoder to allocate enough heap for 16-bit exports
- Process sensitive CR2 files locally; the converter operates in client-side memory to protect privacy
- Download resulting RGB packages promptly and remove temporary local caches to free disk space
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.
