Canon's CR3 RAW format holds your full sensor data — 12-bit color, ISO invariance, highlight recovery. When you need to share it, CR3 needs to become JPG, PNG, or WebP first.

Drop CR3 files from Canon EOS R, R3, R5, R5C, R6, R6 II, R7, R8, R10, R50, R100, 1D X III, 90D, and all CR3-shooting bodies.
CR3 files contain a full-resolution JPEG preview rendered by the camera with Picture Style, white balance, and exposure applied. Extracted without requiring RAW demosaicing.
Choose JPG for universal sharing, PNG for lossless, WebP for web delivery. EXIF lens, focal length, exposure, and GPS preserved.

CR3 (Canon RAW version 3) debuted in 2018. It uses an ISO BMFF container — same family as HEIC — and replaced CR2 across Canon's EOS R mirrorless lineup. Most third-party tools support it now, but some older versions still need conversion.

CR3 specifics, Canon bodies, and workflow fit.
EOS M50 (first CR3 body, 2018), EOS R through R100, EOS R3, R5, R5C, R6, R6 Mark II, R7, R8, R10, R50, R100, 1D X Mark III, 90D, 250D, and newer models. Older Canon DSLRs (5D, 7D, 80D) shoot CR2, not CR3.
Yes — the embedded JPEG preview in CR3 is rendered by the camera itself using your Picture Style, white balance, and in-camera settings. Identical to what Canon's software would produce for a JPEG export from the same file.
No. Lightroom does full RAW demosaicing, highlight recovery, shadow lift, and all creative adjustments on the CR3 data. This tool is for quick JPG exports from already-good captures — not for editing.
50 MB per CR3 file. Standard Canon CR3 files are 25–40 MB each. C-RAW compressed CR3 are 15–25 MB. Both fit well within the limit.
Yes. C-RAW uses more aggressive sensor data compression in the same CR3 container. The embedded JPEG preview extracts identically. No visible difference in JPG output between full CR3 and C-RAW.
Completely. All decoding runs client-side in your browser. CR3 files — containing your full sensor data — never upload anywhere. Close the tab and nothing persists.
