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 files to RLE bitmaps quickly while understanding quality, metadata and file-size tradeoffs.

Fast RAW Decode

Decode CR2 sensor data into raster pixels quickly using optimized in-browser pipelines for typical DSLR files.

High-Fidelity Raster Output

Produce uncompressed or lightly compressed RLE frames that expand CR2 Bayer data into full RGB pixels for editing.

Preserves Image Detail

Maintain demosaiced detail and tonal gradation when converting CR2 to a pixel-based RLE representation.

Single-Frame Flattening

CR2 camera layers and RAW processing instructions are rasterized into a single RLE image; embedded layers not retained.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions run in the browser memory buffers by default, minimizing external upload for privacy and speed.

Wide Editing Compatibility

RLE bitmaps created are compatible with legacy imaging tools and pipelines that accept run-length encoded frames.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CR2 for Conversion

Validate CR2 integrity with a RAW reader before convert to avoid demosaic artifacts
Select the desired camera white balance since CR2 lacks baked WB and conversion applies one
Apply lens corrections in a RAW editor if you need corrected pixels in RLE output
Remove in-camera overlays or proprietary markers because RLE will rasterize visible annotations
Group CR2 shots by model and bit depth to choose consistent demosaic parameters

Target RLE Encoding Choices

Choose 16-bit RLE output if you require wider tonal headroom from CR2 12–14 bit samples
Use RLE with per-channel packing to retain near-lossless gradients from CR2 demosaic
Avoid 8-bit RLE when highlight recovery from CR2 is needed, as banding may increase
Enable run-length compression only for flat areas when aiming to reduce RLE size
Store ICC profile alongside RLE to maintain color fidelity when the encoder does not embed it

Workflow Integration

Import RLE frames into legacy compositors that lack CR2 support for frame-based VFX
Export sidecar XMP from CR2 to preserve camera metadata when RLE payload drops EXIF
Convert sample CR2 files to verify demosaic and color transform before bulk processing
Automate batch scripts that reference original CR2 names so metadata mapping remains traceable
Use tools that can read 16-bit RLE if you depend on sensor-level tonal edits post-conversion

Verify Output and Performance

Open converted RLE in a 16-bit-aware viewer to inspect shadow detail retained from CR2
Check highlights and clipping after demosaic because CR2 RAW recovery differs from RLE view
Monitor memory usage on large CR2 batches; split into 20–50 file groups to avoid timeouts
Compare histogram between CR2 reference and RLE result to ensure color transform correctness
Retain original CR2 files as canonical masters; treat RLE as an interoperability derivative

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.
