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 photos to XC for streamlined editing and delivery with speed and technical clarity.

Fast Raw Decode

Efficient demosaicing pipeline decodes CR2 sensor data quickly to produce XC raster images.

High-Fidelity Render

Preserves tonal range during conversion where XC supports high dynamic range encoding.

Bulk Processing

Process hundreds of CR2 files in batches with consistent XC output settings for production workflows.

Editor-Friendly Outputs

XC targets are structured for common editors and CMS ingestion after export from raw data.

Client-Side Handling

Files are decoded and encoded in memory within the browser; uploads to servers are not required.

Configurable Parameters

Adjust white balance, color space, and output size before encoding to XC for tailored results.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CR2 for Conversion

Check CR2 camera white balance and apply a neutral WB before demosaicing to avoid color shifts in XC
If CR2 contains dual-pixel or camera-side HDR, export a single representative raw frame to avoid inconsistent XC outputs
Strip large proprietary maker notes only when nonessential, since those tags may be useful for cataloging after XC export
Convert CR2 at native resolution when final retouching is required to preserve sensor detail in XC
Use a calibrated monitor when evaluating CR2-to-XC color transforms to detect profile mismatches early

Choose XC Encoding Carefully

Select a lossless XC profile for archival to keep maximum CR2-derived tonal detail
Use high_efficiency XC when delivery size matters but verify shadow banding post-encode
Embed an ICC profile into XC if downstream editors require consistent color rendering
Avoid aggressive XC chroma subsampling when color-critical retouching follows conversion
Store original CR2 files separately as nondestructive sources alongside XC exports

Validate Converted Outputs

Open XC in your target editor and confirm EXIF timestamps match the CR2 source fields you need
Inspect shadow and highlight rolloff at 100% to ensure XC encoding preserved CR2 dynamic range
Check that intended ICC profile is present in XC metadata before bulk publishing
Compare crop and dimension attributes against CR2 to confirm no unintended resampling occurred
Run a quick color swatch comparison between CR2-processed preview and XC to detect hue shifts

Workflow and Security

Process sensitive CR2 files locally; client-side conversion reduces exposure of raw captures
When batching many CR2 files, split into groups of 20–50 to keep browser memory usage stable
Clear temporary in-memory buffers after conversion to remove decoded raw data from RAM
Use stable network conditions only for transferring large XC packages to cloud storage
Label XC outputs with original CR2 filenames and camera model for traceability in production

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.
