Convert CR to JPG

Understanding CR and JPG file formats

The CR file format is a raw image format used by Canon digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to have greater control over image editing. On the other hand, the JPG (or JPEG) file format is a widely-used compressed image format that is ideal for sharing and storing images due to its smaller file size.
