RAW Converter

RAW image files contain data obtained from a camera’s image sensor that has not yet been processed in any way. However, these files are rather difficult to edit or distribute, as not many applications support them.

RAW Converter is an easy-to-use application that enables you to convert CR2 and CRW files taken with a Canon EOS camera to JPG or TIF. It does not offer any advanced features, but it is a great utility for those who need a quick and easy way to process RAW image files.

The program can convert RAW images saved to the CRW and CR2 file formats. Developed by Canon, these formats are used to store all data captured from a camera’s sensor.

All Canon EOS camera models that have been released to date should be supported, but you can consult the list provided on the developer’s website to make sure your device is included.

RAW Converter is remarkably user-friendly. You can import CRW and CR2 files by dragging them to the main application window, and it is even possible to add an entire folder at once.

Next, you have to choose between the two supported output formats: JPG or TIF. If you go with the former, you can also define the quality of the output file.

Lastly, you just need to specify where the converted files should be saved and press the Start Conversion button.

Of course, the application does not allow you to alter the images in any way, but this should not be an issue if you only need to convert your files and prefer to use other programs for further processing.

On the whole, this is a reliable utility that can help you convert CR2 and CRW RAW image files shot using a Canon EOS camera to JPG or TIF. It supports batch processing and features a minimalistic, novice-friendly user interface.
