CR2 Image Format CR2 Converter
The CR2 file format name is short for Canon Raw version 2. CR2 is an image format for digital photography, specifically pictures taken on some models of Canon cameras. Like other raw image files, CR2 files are the original unprocessed image captured by the camera sensor. They are high-definition images which can have very large file sizes. This means that more detail is captured, which is perfect for editing. However, the images may need to be converted into a more compressed format like JPG before they are shared or published.
Newer Canon models save photograph files into CR3 format rather than CR2. As Canon is such a popular brand, you should be able to open CR2 files on the photo apps on most computers and tablets, as well as with image-editors like Adobe Photoshop. Like other digital camera brands, Canon has also developed its own software to help users process their photos.

JPG Image Format JPG Converter
JPG, or JPEG, is one of the most widely used digital image formats. JPG is a universal format which can be opened by almost all image-viewing or -editing programs, by web browsers, and by certain other apps, and they’re supported by most devices. JPGs are 2D pixel-based ‘raster’ images, which makes them better for photographs or scans, rather than digital illustrations which are often better as ‘vector’ images. Many cameras, smartphones, and basic photo or drawing programs will automatically save into JPG format. However, you can usually adjust settings to save into other formats if needed.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, which is the name of the committee that standardised the format. JPG is a ‘lossy’ format, meaning that it is compressed to save storage space and make it easier to share. This compression can affect quality, but this loss of quality isn’t noticeable to most users.

On a Mac, open your file with your ‘Preview’ application, then click on ‘File’ in the navigation bar and select ‘Export’. From there you can choose “JPEG” as the option to save to.
