How do I convert a PDF file to CR3 images?

Upload your PDF, choose the output page range and DPI (default 300), select color space (sRGB or Adobe RGB), then click Convert. Each page is exported as a separate CR3 raw file, preserving EXIF data from the source document.

Why would I convert a PDF to CR3?

CR3 is Canon's raw image format designed for professional photographers. Converting PDF pages to CR3 lets you open and edit each page as a raw file in software like Canon Digital Photo Professional, Lightroom, or Photoshop. This is useful when you need to fine-tune exposure, white balance, or apply tone curves to illustrations or rendered diagrams without losing image data.

How does conversion handle transparency, layers, and color profiles?

During conversion, PDF vector and text layers are rasterized at your chosen DPI, flattening all layers onto a single composite. Transparency is merged onto a white or custom background because CR3 does not support alpha channels. ICC color profiles are automatically embedded; if none exists, we assume sRGB. Exposure and white balance metadata are removed and set to neutral for raw editing.
