CR3 (Canon Raw 3) is Canon's proprietary RAW image format introduced in 2018 with the EOS M50, replacing the older CR2 format. Built on the ISO Base Media File Format (similar to MP4), CR3 stores unprocessed sensor data with 14-bit color depth, allowing photographers full control over white balance, exposure, and color grading in post-production. Files include an embedded JPEG preview and extensive EXIF metadata.

CR3 is essential for professional photographers using modern Canon cameras who need maximum editing flexibility. For sharing or web publishing, conversion to JPEG or other universal formats is necessary since RAW formats require specialized software.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the universal standard for photographic images, using lossy DCT-based compression to achieve 10:1 or higher compression ratios with minimal visible quality loss. First published in 1992, it supports 24-bit color and works across every device, browser, and application. The lossy nature means repeated editing and saving degrades quality—best used as a final delivery format.

JPEG excels at photographic content and remains the de facto standard for sharing, publishing, and web delivery. With mature encoders like MozJPEG delivering excellent quality-to-size ratios, JPEG continues to dominate despite newer alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CR3 file?
CR3 (Canon RAW version 3) is Canon's latest RAW image format introduced in 2018 with the EOS M50 and used across all EOS R mirrorless cameras.
CR3 uses HEIF-based container format with improved compression—files are ~20% smaller than CR2 while maintaining full 14-bit RAW quality. It also stores richer metadata including C-RAW (compressed RAW) options.
Like all RAW formats, CR3 files can't be viewed directly in browsers or shared via messaging apps—they need conversion to JPG, PNG, or WebP first.

Will I lose quality converting CR3 to JPG?
What settings are used for the conversion?
Conversion settings:
- White balance: Preserved from your camera's as-shot settings
- Exposure: Auto-brightness applied (matches Windows 11 Photos app)
- Color space: sRGB with standard gamma curve for accurate web display
- JPEG quality: 90 — higher than typical web images for excellent detail retention
- Metadata: Stripped for privacy (no GPS, camera info, or shooting settings)
Output matches Windows 11 Photos app. We use the same auto-brightness and color processing that Windows applies when you open a CR3 file.
