Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare CR2 Before Export
- Run demosaic and lens corrections in your RAW editor to bake camera corrections into pixels
- Apply white balance and exposure adjustments to the CR2 before rasterizing to XV to avoid tone shifts
- Export a high-bit-depth TIFF for archival if you need later re-editing beyond XV capabilities
- Strip unnecessary proprietary maker-note fields from CR2 sidecars to reduce ambiguity during conversion
- Normalize camera group color settings when exporting batches from multiple Canon models to ensure consistent XV output
Configure XV Encoding
- Choose a higher XV quality preset when converting CR2 files with fine shadow detail to reduce banding
- Increase output resolution only when target viewers require larger pixel dimensions to avoid inflated XV sizes
- Prefer sRGB target profile for web delivery from CR2 to maintain cross-device color consistency
- Use minimal compression for CR2 images destined for subsequent retouching to retain more tonal data
- Enable progressive XV output if supported to improve perceived loading on slow connections
Validate Post-Conversion
- Compare histograms between CR2 and XV renders to detect clipped highlights or crushed shadows
- Inspect XV files at 100% on representative devices to spot demosaic artifacts or chroma noise
- Verify EXIF fields like focal length and timestamp when catalog accuracy matters for CR2 archives
- Test XV rendering in your target CMS or app to ensure embedded color intent displays correctly
- Run sample prints from XV outputs if printing workflow follows conversion to catch gamut issues early
Optimize Privacy and Throughput
- Process confidential CR2 images in local browser memory to avoid server transfer of sensitive RAW data
- Split large CR2 shoots into batches of 20–50 when converting to maintain browser responsiveness
- Close memory-heavy applications while batch-converting CR2 to free RAM and reduce swap-induced slowdowns
- Download converted XV packages immediately and clear local temporary caches to protect privacy
- When working over unstable networks, convert CR2 files offline first and upload only final XV assets
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.
