How do I convert CR2 to DDS using this tool?

Upload your CR2 file, choose output settings (compression type, mipmap generation, resolution), click 'Convert', and download the DDS file. For best results, set the output size to power-of-two if your engine requires mipmaps.

Why convert CR2 files to DDS?

CR2 is a Canon RAW format for photo editing, but it's too large and not compatible with real-time 3D pipelines. DDS is the standard texture format for GPUs, offering compressed memory footprints, mipmaps, and direct loading in engines like Unity and Unreal.

What happens to color profiles and resolution when converting CR2 to DDS?

The converter preserves the embedded ICC profile (e.g., sRGB/Adobe RGB) and maps the 14-bit RAW data to 8-bit channels. Since CR2 has no alpha, the DDS output is opaque. Resolution is kept unless you enable resize to power-of-two for mipmaps; lossy DXT/BC compression may introduce slight artifacts, so select BC7 or uncompressed for high-fidelity results.
