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, batch-oriented CR2 to SGI conversion tailored for photographers and image pipelines.

Lossless / Fast Conversion

Decode Canon CR2 raw frames quickly and export SGI raster files with minimal overhead for batch workflows.

Preserve Raw Detail

Render CR2 sensor data into 16-bit SGI rasters to retain tonal gradations and highlight detail where possible.

Batch Efficiency

Process hundreds of CR2 files in queued batches to optimize CPU and memory for studio-level throughput.

Wide Editing Support

Produce SGI outputs compatible with legacy image toolchains, visualization apps, and certain graphics APIs.

Control Output Parameters

Adjust resolution, color conversion intent, and optional channel flattening before exporting SGI files.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions run in-browser memory buffers to keep original CR2 files on the user's device during processing.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CR2 for Batch Rendering

Verify white balance and camera color matrix in sidecar files to ensure consistent demosaic across CR2 shots
Convert only the primary raw frame if CR2 contains multiple embedded previews to avoid unexpected raster selection
Normalize exposure via linear adjustments before exporting to prevent clipping after SGI encoding
Remove or consolidate inconsistent MakerNotes that could alter per-file decode behavior during large batches
Group CR2 files by camera model and ISO to keep demosaic parameters uniform and speed up batch processing

Configure SGI Output Efficiently

Select 16-bit SGI output for CR2-derived highlights to preserve sensor dynamics in large prints
Choose uncompressed SGI when target tools require exact pixel fidelity instead of smaller compressed variants
If disk space is limited, export as 8-bit SGI only after confirming tone-mapping results on representative CR2 files
Enable optional alpha generation only when masks exist; otherwise avoid creating unnecessary alpha channels in SGI
Name outputs with source-derived identifiers to map SGI files back to original CR2 metadata offline

Integrate with Editing and Rendering Pipelines

Validate SGI renders in OpenImageIO or your rendering engine to confirm correct channel ordering post-conversion
Use a consistent color intent (sRGB or ProPhoto) when converting CR2 to SGI to prevent cross-software color shifts
Test a small batch through your target compositor to detect issues with expected bit depth and channel packing
If downstream tools expect tiled or scanline SGI, configure the exporter accordingly to match ingestion requirements
Maintain original CR2 alongside SGI exports to enable re-rendering with different demosaic parameters if needed

Memory, Privacy, and Batch Stability

Process CR2 files in groups of 20–50 to limit browser RAM usage and keep SGI export latency predictable
Perform conversions client-side to avoid uploading sensitive CR2 MakerNotes or GPS EXIF data to external servers
Close unrelated browser tabs during large batch runs to free threads for the demosaic and color transform steps
Monitor available local disk space before writing large 16-bit SGI batches to prevent incomplete writes
Download and archive SGI packages promptly; retaining CR2 originals is recommended for future repro-cessing

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.
