How do I convert CR2 files to PDF using LetsConvert?

Go to /image-converter/cr2-to-pdf, drag and drop your .CR2 files, choose output compression (lossless or JPEG), and click Convert. The tool demosaics the raw sensor data, applies auto white balance, and embeds the image into a PDF page while retaining EXIF metadata.

Why should I convert CR2 to PDF instead of keeping the raw file?

CR2 files are proprietary Canon RAW images that require specialized software like Adobe Lightroom or Canon DPP to view. PDF is a universal format that opens in any browser or PDF reader, making it easy to share proofs, submit to clients, or print at commercial shops. PDF also compresses the image data, reducing file size while keeping enough quality for standard print (300 DPI).

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

Our converter respects the embedded ICC color profile and converts the raw Bayer mosaic to RGB using advanced demosaicing. The output PDF retains the original pixel dimensions and DPI setting, and you can choose to embed the ICC profile for color-accurate printing. The option to include EXIF metadata is also available.
