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, precise CRW to SCT conversion tailored for archival integrity and broad compatibility.

CRW Native Decoding

Directly decode Canon RAW sensor data for accurate demosaic starting point before SCT encoding.

High-Fidelity Rasterization

Preserve visible tonal range when rasterizing CRW's RAW Bayer data into SCT's raster container.

Archive-Friendly Outputs

Produce SCT files optimized for long-term compatibility with archive systems and viewers that accept SCT.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions run in the browser memory to minimize external file transfer; verify locally after export.

Adjustable Encoding

Choose output resolution and compression level for SCT to balance fidelity versus archive size.

Batch CRW Support

Queue multiple CRW files; converter processes sets efficiently while respecting memory profiles.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CRW for Archive

Verify CRW exposure and white balance decisions before rasterizing to avoid irreversible tonal shifts
Extract and store original CRW alongside SCT to retain raw sensor data for future reprocessing
Use lossless CRW variants when possible to improve demosaic results during SCT generation
Normalize CRW orientation via metadata before conversion so SCT pixels match catalog expectations
Check CRW MakerNotes for lens corrections and log them to accompany the SCT derivative

SCT Encoding Choices

Select 16-bit SCT encoding if downstream viewers support it to reduce banding after tonal edits
Use minimal SCT compression for archival copies to protect fine detail from lossy encoding
Embed available ICC profile from CRW into SCT when mapping is supported to maintain color intent
When target is print, export SCT at target DPI and color space aligned to printer workflow
Disable aggressive sharpening during conversion to avoid baking processing into the SCT pixels

Integration with Editing Tools

Retain CRW originals for raw-specific editors like Adobe Camera Raw for nondestructive edits
Use SCT for applications that expect standard raster input such as legacy DAM systems
Test SCT files in target editors to confirm color profile mapping and alpha interpretation
If layers are required, export stack-friendly formats alongside SCT since CRW-to-SCT flattens layers
Document conversion parameters (bit depth, profile, compression) in sidecar for reproducibility

Verification and Workflow Limits

Compare key EXIF tags between CRW and SCT post-conversion to confirm metadata mapping
Inspect highlights and shadows at 100% to detect demosaic or compression artifacts introduced
Process in groups of 20–50 CRW files to avoid browser memory pressure and ensure consistent outputs
Label SCT archive files with provenance details because some MakerNotes may not carry over
Run color-check scans on representative images when converting large CRW archives to SCT

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.
