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, professional CR2 to SCT conversion tailored for photographers and archival workflows

Optimized Raw Decode

High-performance CR2 decoding yields full-resolution raster output quickly for downstream SCT packaging.

Preserve Tonal Fidelity

Linear raw demosaic and tone mapping aim to retain highlight and shadow detail before SCT encoding.

Bulk Workflow Support

Efficient queuing handles large CR2 shoots with consistent SCT outputs and steady throughput.

Editor-Friendly Results

SCT export yields raster files designed for image editors that accept this archival container.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions run in-browser memory buffers to minimize external transfer of original CR2 files.

Adjustable Encoding

Control output resolution and compression level to balance SCT file size and visual fidelity.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CR2 Raw Inputs

Validate CR2 exposure and white-balance in raw viewer before batch decode to avoid unwanted tone remapping
Separate different ISO brackets into distinct batches so SCT outputs share consistent noise and sharpening characteristics
Extract and archive original CR2 files prior to conversion to preserve MakerNotes and raw sensor fidelity
If using custom camera profiles, attach or export those profiles alongside CR2 to reapply during SCT encoding
Run a small sample conversion and inspect histogram clipping to tune highlight recovery parameters

Configure SCT Encoding

Choose lossless SCT encoding for archival CR2 exports to keep maximum detail from demosaic output
When targeting web delivery, select moderate compression to reduce SCT size while preserving subtle gradients
Enable 16-bit channel export only if downstream editors accept it; otherwise downsample to 8-bit to save space
Include an embedded ICC profile during SCT export when color-managed editing is required downstream
Avoid aggressive chroma subsampling settings on SCT for images with fine color detail from CR2 sensors

Verify Post-Conversion Fidelity

Inspect SCT files at 100% zoom to confirm demosaic edges and micro-contrast match expectations from CR2
Compare EXIF timestamps and GPS fields between CR2 and SCT to ensure provenance is preserved where needed
Open SCT in your intended editor (Capture One, Photoshop) to validate ICC handling and color shifts
Check shadow noise and highlight roll-off after conversion since CR2 raw linearity is transformed during encoding
Run a file-diff on a sample set to detect any unexpected metadata or dimension changes introduced by export

Optimize Performance & Privacy

Batch conversions of CR2 work best in 20–50 file groups to limit browser memory peaks and maintain throughput
Keep originals on local storage; ConvertXLab processes in memory to reduce external transfer of sensitive CR2 MakerNotes
Close memory-heavy apps during large SCT exports to free CPU and avoid browser swapping
If network-assisted ZIP downloads are used, ensure secure TLS transport for the transferred SCT packages
Purge temporary conversion buffers after download to prevent residual storage of large decoded rasters

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.
