Download SoftOrbits CR2 to JPG Converter software to compress thousands of RAW files easily.
CR2 files are Canon RAW captures that store full sensor data for post-processing. A 24-megapixel frame runs about 25 MB, and many viewers, browsers, and printers refuse to open it. Conversion processes and compresses each photo to a few megabytes that open in social posts, email attachments, web forms, and prints. Keep the Canon originals for editing and get JPEGs ready to share.
SoftOrbits Batch Picture Resizer is a fast CR2 to JPG converter software. Queue folders of Canon shots, choose JPG output, and let multi-core processing run through the list.

A CR2 is the unprocessed readout straight from the Canon sensor. It records 12 to 14 bits of color per channel with no compression, sharpening, or white balance baked in. A JPG is the finished, 8-bit version. The camera, or this converter, processes the data and then compresses it with a lossy method tuned to drop detail your eye rarely notices. The table below shows the trade in one view.
Converting from CR2 reads that full sensor data before it writes the JPG, so the result carries the color and dynamic range the camera saw, not a second-hand copy of an already-compressed file. You pick the JPEG quality level, so the size-versus-detail balance is a setting, not a guess.
