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, photography-focused CR2 to VIFF conversions tailored for editing and archival workflows

Lossless / Fast Conversion

Efficiently transcodes CR2 RAW frames to VIFF raster images while minimizing processing latency for photographers.

High-Fidelity Output

Preserves rendered tonal range from demosaiced CR2 source where VIFF supports the target bit depth and color encoding.

Editing & Archive Ready

Produces VIFF files suitable for scientific viewers and long-term archival systems commonly using VFF/VIFF chains.

Client-Side Privacy

Conversions occur in-browser memory buffers so raw camera files need not be uploaded to remote servers.

Batch Conversion

Process multiple CR2 files in groups to create consistent VIFF outputs for tethered shoots or bulk archives.

Adjustable Parameters

Choose output bit depth and basic color handling to match downstream VIFF workflows or analysis tools.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

CR2 Preparation

Verify CR2 white balance and copy EXIF date tag to sidecar if you need exact timestamps in VIFF
Convert multi-ISO or bracketed CR2 sequences to single master files before VIFF export to avoid order confusion
Apply sensor-specific noise reduction in your RAW editor and export a flattened raster if you require consistent VIFF outputs
If CR2 contains Canon picture styles, bake desired tonal curves into the raster pre-conversion to preserve look in VIFF
Extract embedded CR2 JPEG previews separately when you need quick visual references alongside high-bit VIFF files

VIFF Encoding Choices

Select higher bit depth (16-bit) in export settings when VIFF consumers require numeric precision for analysis
Choose uncompressed VIFF for archival fidelity; expect larger file sizes than CR2 due to expanded raster storage
When space is constrained, opt for compressed VIFF variant but validate that downstream readers accept that compression
Map CR2 color space to a target profile before encoding if your VIFF viewer does not interpret embedded ICC reliably
Include a checksum or manifest with VIFF outputs to track integrity across storage and transfers

Workflow Integration

Test VIFF files in your target analysis tools (ImageJ, custom pipelines) to confirm channel order and header parsing
If you plan to edit in standard photo editors later, produce a TIFF alternative alongside VIFF for broader compatibility
Automate batch naming to retain CR2 camera serial and capture indexes when converting many files to VIFF
Use scripting to convert CR2 to intermediate linear RGB if your VIFF consumers expect non-gamma data
Document per-camera conversion presets since CR2 models differ in base ISO, saturation, and highlight handling

Verification & Performance

Spot-check converted VIFF files at 100% zoom for demosaic artifacts and chroma noise introduced during decode
Process batches in groups of 20–50 CR2 files to optimize memory and prevent browser slowdowns
Close other browser applications to maximize available RAM for high-resolution CR2 demosaicing
Confirm any transferred EXIF fields in VIFF headers immediately after conversion to catch missing tags
Retain originals for at least one verification cycle before deleting CR2 sources from active storage

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.
