CR2
Canon CR2 RAW photo
CR2 is the RAW photo format Canon DSLRs used for many years (newer Canon models write CR3). It stores the unprocessed sensor data, which leaves plenty of room for editing.

Drop on JPG
Release the files over JPG. A progress ring counts up, and each JPG file is saved next to its original.
What Filee does for CR2 → JPG
Drop a whole memory card's worth of CR2 files at once: Filee converts them in parallel and saves each JPG next to its RAW file. Newer Canon cameras write CR3, which Filee reads as well.
- Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
- Engine: ImageMagick.
- Adjustable quality for JPG, WEBP and AVIF: JPG saves at 90 % by default, and a JPG 70 % preset makes smaller files.
- Resize while converting, by percentage (for example half size) or to a maximum long edge.
- Metadata (EXIF, XMP, colour profile) is kept by default and can be removed for privacy.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.

About CR2 and JPG
JPG
JPEG image
JPEG is the most widely used photo format. Its lossy compression keeps files small, but every save at lower quality discards some detail, and it has no transparency.
