Why Choose Our Converter?
Convert Canon CR2 raw photos to SUN format quickly for legacy visualization and device compatibility.
Fast RAW to SUN
Direct browser conversion optimized for single-file CR2 decoding and SUN raster export in seconds.
Preserve Raw Detail
Retains sensor-derived tonal range and full-resolution raster output when possible for accurate SUN rendering.
Legacy Format Support
Produces SUN files usable by legacy viewers and scientific tools that require Sun Raster images.
Client-Side Processing
CR2 decoding occurs in your browser memory so source files do not upload to remote servers by default.
Adjustable Export
Choose output bit depth and color conversion options to match SUN viewers or downstream processing.
Batch-Friendly
Process multiple CR2 files in groups with predictable memory usage for efficient device sharing.

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare CR2 for Export
- Convert proprietary Canon CR2 to a linear TIFF if you need non-destructive edits preserved before SUN export
- Apply lens corrections in RAW editor because SUN export flattens baked-in pixels and loses adjustment stacks
- Embed an sRGB or target ICC profile in the working raster prior to SUN encoding to reduce color mismatches
- Resolve noisy high-ISO CR2 frames with denoise filters before exporting to SUN to avoid amplifying sensor artifacts
- Flatten any extra adjustment layers in the interim TIFF; CR2 adjustment parameters cannot be serialized into SUN
SUN Export Options
- Choose 8-bit per channel SUN for maximum viewer compatibility on legacy systems
- Select higher bit-depth SUN only when destination tools explicitly accept 16-bit raster data
- Prefer uncompressed SUN when archival fidelity is required, accepting larger file sizes
- Use ZIP packaging for bulk SUN files to reduce transfer size to mobile recipients
- Name files with clear metadata hints (date_camera_resolution) since SUN headers may omit MakerNotes
Verify Post-Conversion
- Open exported SUN in ImageMagick or legacy Sun Raster viewers to validate header fields and pixel integrity
- Compare histograms between original CR2 render and SUN result to detect tone-mapping shifts
- Check color accuracy on target devices using sRGB preview if the SUN reader ignores ICC profiles
- Inspect file dimensions and pixel aspect ratio to ensure no unintended resampling occurred
- Spot-check several images when batch converting CR2 sets to detect decode anomalies early
Device Sharing Guidelines
- For mobile recipients, convert an additional PNG or JPEG copy because most phones lack native SUN support
- Transmit SUN files via secure channels and include a viewer recommendation to help recipients open them
- Limit batch sizes per transfer to 20–50 SUN files to avoid mobile download failures and memory spikes
- Keep original CR2 archives intact for editing; SUN should be used for analysis or legacy tool consumption
- When privacy matters, process CR2 locally on device so RAW data never leaves your system
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.
