How do I convert a JPG file to CR3?

Upload your JPG via the file picker or drag-and-drop, then select CR3 as the output format. You can optionally retain EXIF metadata or choose a color profile. Click Convert and download your CR3 file instantly. The conversion is done locally in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server.

Why would I need to convert JPG to CR3?

CR3 is Canon's RAW format, commonly accepted by Canon applications like Digital Photo Professional. A JPG-to-CR3 conversion is useful when you need to incorporate a standard raster image into a Canon RAW workflow—for example, to test pipelines, unify file extensions, or satisfy software that only reads CR3. Note that the CR3 file will not contain raw sensor data, only the original JPEG-compressed image.

What technical attributes are preserved or lost in JPG to CR3 conversion?

The conversion preserves the original pixel dimensions, color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.), and EXIF metadata by embedding the JPEG bitmap into a CR3 container. However, because JPG uses lossy compression, the CR3 file lacks the unprocessed sensor data of a native Canon RAW. Any high-bit-depth information or highlight recovery capability is already lost in the JPG, and transparency is unsupported, so transparent areas are flattened to a background color.
