How do I convert a GIF to CR2 with this tool?

Upload your GIF file, choose CR2 as the output format, and select optional settings like bit depth or color space. Click Convert and download the .cr2 file once processing completes. For animated GIFs, each frame is saved as a separate CR2 image.

Why would you convert a GIF to CR2?

GIFs are limited to 8-bit color (256 colors) and are ideal for simple animations. CR2 is Canon's raw format with 14-bit color depth, giving you far more editing headroom in software like Adobe Camera Raw. Converting GIF to CR2 lets you leverage raw processing workflows, apply non-destructive edits, and recover highlights/shadows from the original image data.

How does the conversion affect transparency and layers?

GIF supports 1-bit transparency (fully transparent or opaque) and animation frames. When converting to CR2, transparency is stored as an alpha channel (where CR2 supports it), and each animation frame is exported as a separate CR2 file. Static GIFs convert to a single raw image with a 16-bit per channel color depth, but note that original 8-bit color information is preserved; conversion does not create sensor data it didn't have.
