CR2 file stores raw image data captured with digital camera matrix developed by Ca non. It is the version 2 of the format. CR2 is a RAW, uncompressed image and therefore can be quite large. CR2 is a proprietary format that stores data in binary.
File with PNG extension contains raster graphics compressed using lossless compression method called ‘deflate’ that supports ‘alfa’ channel and 48-bit color. PNG files can store transparent pixels and 16-bit color per each channel. Each PNG file contains a single image.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CR2 file after converting to PNG may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CR2 to PNG to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CR2 to PNG does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CR2 format, properly converted to a PNG file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CR2 the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CR2 file to other than PNG. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CR2 file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to PNG on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CR2 file in its original format (without conversion to PNG file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
