How do I convert a CR2 image to PPM online?

Upload your CR2 file, choose PPM as the output format, adjust optional settings like bit depth or color profile, then download the converted file. The conversion extracts raw sensor data and encodes it as an uncompressed PPM image in a single click.

Why should I convert CR2 to PPM instead of JPEG or PNG?

PPM is a minimal, uncompressed format that is easy to process in image analysis software, print pipelines, and legacy applications. Unlike JPEG, it is lossless, and unlike PNG, it has no compression overhead, making it ideal for pixel-level manipulation. CR2 raw files also retain full sensor data, so converting to PPM lets you scale or analyze without generation loss.

What happens to metadata, color profiles, and bit depth when converting CR2 to PPM?

CR2 stores 14-bit or 16-bit sensor data with camera-specific metadata like white balance, ISO, and color matrices. Converting to PPM preserves the pixel values as RGB channels but discards most metadata and color profile tags. To maintain color fidelity, you should apply the correct ICC profile during conversion; the tool applies a default sRGB profile if none is set. The bit depth is preserved only if the output PPM is selected as PPM (P6) with 16-bit components; otherwise it may be downsampled to 8-bit.
