How can I convert a TGA file to CR2 using LetsConvert?

Simply drag and drop your TGA file onto the converter, choose CR2 as the output format, and click 'Convert'. The tool automatically maps the 32-bit RGBA data to CR2's 14-bit raw channel layout, preserving the alpha channel as an EXIF tag. Then download your CR2 file, ready for Canon software.

Why would I convert TGA to CR2 instead of using a standard JPEG/PNG?

TGA is a raster format with transparency, but CR2 is a raw sensor format that is lossless and provides higher post-processing flexibility in tools like Adobe Lightroom. Converting to CR2 allows you to embed custom camera metadata, adjust white balance without degradation, and simulate raw workflows for 3D assets or teaching. It also preserves the original pixel data exactly.

How does the conversion handle alpha channels, bit depth, and color profiles?

Our converter extracts the RGB channels from the TGA and maps them to a linear 14-bit Bayer-like mosaic in the CR2. The alpha channel (if present) is stored in the CR2's metadata as a 'Alpha' tag, since raw files don't support transparency natively. Color profile information (like sRGB or Adobe RGB) is converted to the corresponding ICC profile. If your TGA uses 8-bit per channel, we upsample to 14-bit without interpolation loss.
