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?

Effortless CRW to PGX conversions optimized for web publishing and archival workflows with fast in-browser processing

Fast, Local Processing

Convert CRW RAW captures to PGX quickly in the browser without uploading originals to external servers.

High-Fidelity Raster Output

Produce high-bit-depth PGX raster files suitable for archival or server-side recompression while retaining tonal detail.

Web-Ready Target

Generate PGX files that integrate with image pipelines used for server-side tiling and archival distribution.

Client-Side Privacy

CRW decoding and PGX encoding occur in memory; source files do not leave your device during conversion.

Adjustable Output Parameters

Choose bit depth and basic color handling options to balance quality and downstream storage for web use.

Batch-Ready Workflow

Process multiple CRW files in one session with consistent PGX settings for efficient site ingestion.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CRW Source

Verify CRW white balance tags and apply desired WB before export to control final PGX color
Extract high-resolution embedded JPEG previews to compare rendering after PGX conversion
Keep original CRW files to preserve proprietary Canon tags that the PGX export will not retain
Convert using 16-bit output when original CRW bit depth is 12–14 bits to minimize quantization
Denoise or debayer CRW only if you want those adjustments baked into the PGX raster

Configure PGX Encoding

Select 16-bit channel depth in PGX when archival tonal precision is required for later web transcodes
Avoid automatic sRGB flattening if you need to apply ICC profiling downstream for consistent web color
Choose uncompressed or lossless PGX storage to retain maximum detail before server-side compression
Name PGX files with descriptive metadata in filenames because internal EXIF transfer may vary
Bundle PGX outputs into ZIP archives for predictable uploads to CMS ingestion endpoints

Integrate with Publishing Pipeline

Use PGX as a master asset for server-side generation of WebP/JPEG derivatives for browser delivery
Automate histogram checks from PGX to detect clipping introduced by CRW demosaic settings
Incorporate ICC profiling steps on the server since PGX embedding is not guaranteed by this tool
Leverage batch naming conventions to map PGX files to CMS records and avoid metadata loss
Test representative PGX-to-WebP transcodes across devices to validate perceived color and noise

Verify and Secure Outputs

Confirm presence or absence of EXIF in PGX with a metadata tool rather than assuming preservation
Keep originals encrypted in storage if CRW contains sensitive capture locations or timestamps
Process batches of 20–50 CRW files to limit memory pressure and reduce browser slowdowns
Clear local caches and close heavy editor tabs when converting very large CRW files to PGX
Download and archive converted PGX files immediately to avoid ephemeral in-memory loss

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.
