CR2 is Canon's widely used RAW format, found across most Canon DSLR and many mirrorless cameras, storing unprocessed sensor data with full editing flexibility for exposure, white balance, and color correction. CR2 files can't be viewed directly in browsers, photo viewers, or social platforms, since they need to be demosaiced before they're even a viewable image.
Converting CR2 to JPG performs that demosaicing and compresses the result into a small, universally compatible file, which is the standard step once a Canon shoot has been edited and is ready to share, upload, or print.
