CR2 to TIFF Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is a CR2 file?

CR2 is the Canon RAW image format used on EOS DSLRs from 2004 to roughly 2018. It stores unprocessed 14-bit sensor data in a TIFF-based container.

Why convert CR2 to TIFF?

TIFF preserves the full 16-bit dynamic range of the CR2 sensor data. TIFF is also the standard delivery format for professional print and high-end retouching workflows.

How do I convert CR2 to TIFF online?

Upload your .cr2 file using the button above. The converter demosaics the RAW data, applies camera metadata, and writes a 16-bit LZW-compressed TIFF for download.

8-bit or 16-bit TIFF?

16-bit per channel by default — that preserves the dynamic range of the original. Total Image Converter on the desktop also offers an 8-bit option for smaller files when full latitude is not needed.

Will the TIFF include the camera's colour profile?

Yes. The sRGB or Adobe RGB profile from the CR2 metadata is embedded in the output TIFF for colour-accurate display in colour-managed apps.

Can I batch-convert CR2 files?

Yes. Total Image Converter handles folders: TotalImageConverter.exe C:\cr2 C:\tiff -c tiff -bpc 16 processes everything in C:\cr2.

How big is the output TIFF?

A 24 MP CR2 produces a roughly 70-100 MB 16-bit TIFF with LZW compression, or 140-200 MB uncompressed.
 

 

Convert CR2 to TIFF — Canon DSLR RAW to 16-bit Lossless TIFF

CR2 is Canon's RAW format from the EOS DSLR generation — 14 bits of sensor latitude per channel. Converting to 16-bit TIFF preserves every stop of that dynamic range for Photoshop editing, professional printing, and long-term archival. Drop your .cr2 file above.

What Is CR2?

CR2 is the Canon RAW format used on every Canon EOS DSLR from 2004 (EOS 1D Mark II) through about 2018. It stores 14-bit sensor data in a TIFF-based container, along with embedded JPG previews and full EXIF metadata. Native support exists in Canon DPP, Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, Capture One, and most modern image editors.

What Is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the standard for high-fidelity image storage. It supports 8, 16, and 32-bit colour, layers, multiple compression algorithms (LZW, ZIP, none), and embedded ICC colour profiles. Every professional image editor accepts TIFF as input and output.
