How to convert CR2 to JPG

  1. Drop your CR2 files on the box above, or choose them. One image or a whole folder of them.
  2. Pick a quality: High (90) is right for most photos; Smaller files (75) for email and the web.
  3. Each image converts on this device straight away, with its old and new size next to it.
  4. Download one file free, or a whole batch as one ZIP with a Day Pass or Unlimited.

What is kept, and what changes

DetailIn your JPGNotes
What you getThe camera's own JPEGEvery RAW file carries a JPEG the camera made when the photo was taken, with the camera's colour and sharpening. FileInto saves that picture; it does not develop the sensor data again.
Size in pixelsFull sizeCanon cameras store a full-size JPEG in the CR2: a 24 megapixel camera gives a 6000 × 4000 px picture.
QualityYour choice: High or Smaller fileAt High you won't see a difference from the camera's JPEG on screen.
Photo details (EXIF)RemovedCamera, date and location details are not copied into the new file, so it is safe to share.
RotationUprightThe camera's rotation flag is applied, so portrait shots stand the right way up.

Problems and fixes

It looks different from Lightroom or my editor
Editors develop the sensor data with their own settings. FileInto gives the JPEG the camera made, the look you saw on the camera's screen. For a custom edit, export from your editor.
"This RAW file has no picture inside it that FileInto can use"
Some files, often DNGs saved by converters with the preview turned off, carry no JPEG at all. Export a JPG from the app that made the file.
The picture is smaller than my camera's resolution
A few cameras and DNG converters store a reduced JPEG. FileInto shows the size it found next to each file; it never enlarges it.
"FileInto couldn't read this image"
The file may be damaged, or not really a CR2. Open it in your photo app; if it shows there, save a fresh copy and try again.
It is slow with hundreds of photos
Large batches use every core of your device but still take a moment per photo. Keep the tab open; the images convert a few at a time and the ZIP is built at the end.

Questions

How do I convert CR2 to JPG?
Drop your CR2 files on the converter on this page. They convert in your browser straight away; download one JPG, or all of them as a ZIP. No sign-up and no upload.
Is this CR2 to JPG converter free?
Yes, one image at a time, with no account and no sign-up. Converting many images at once, with one ZIP to download, needs a Day Pass ($7 for 24 hours) or Unlimited.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser decodes and re-encodes each image inside this tab. Your file never reaches our servers, and nothing about it does either: not its name, its size or how many rows it has.
Why convert CR2 to JPG?
CR2 is the RAW format of older Canon cameras. It holds the sensor data, which phones, websites and most apps can't show. JPG is the safer choice for email, uploads, printing and any app.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes, with a Day Pass or Unlimited. Drop as many as you like, or a whole selection from a folder. They convert a few at a time on your device and download together as one ZIP. Free converts one image at a time.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in current Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, on phones and computers. On a phone, choose the images from Photos or Files.
What are the limits?
Images up to 50 MB each. Free converts one image at a time, no account needed. Converting many at once, with one ZIP to download, needs a Day Pass ($7 for 24 hours) or Unlimited ($9 a month). It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers and phones.
Is this the same as developing the RAW file?
No. Developing means turning the sensor data into a picture with your own settings, in an app like Lightroom. FileInto saves the JPEG the camera already made from it, quickly and privately, which is what you need to share, upload or print.
