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. When you need a lossless export instead of a compressed one — for archival masters, further editing in other software, or print work — PNG is the better target than JPG, since it doesn't introduce any additional compression loss once the file has been demosaiced.
Converting CR2 to PNG is the practical choice when a Canon shoot needs to retain maximum quality through an archival or editing pipeline rather than a final, compressed delivery.

Why choose PNG instead of JPG for CR2 exports?
PNG is lossless, making it the better choice when preserving maximum image detail for archiving or further editing matters more than minimizing file size.
