What is a CR2 file?

CR2 file is Canon RAW image Version 2 proprietary format introduced in 2004. Raw part of the image format means that these files contain all data from digital camera sensors, including color ratio in RGB space, camera data, lens data, etc. Since CR2 format acts as a digital negative with a lot of information, you can expect that CR2 files are enormous, uncompressed, and high quality. To be able to open the CR2 file, you’ll need Canon proprietary software or Adobe Photoshop, 3Ds Max, etc. Even though images in CR2 format can be easily modified, there is not much else you can do with them. Before sending CR2 files or sharing them on social media, you should convert them to a more compatible format, such as JPG.

What is a JPEG file?

Joint Photographic Experts Group developed a digital image standard with the name formed from their acronym JPEG in 1992. Contrary to frequent misconception, there is no difference between JPG and JPEG format except in their name. JPEG is even now still the most common format used for storing, sharing, transferring, viewing, modifying, etc. digital images across the world. Also, JPEG is the default image format on social media, web, and pretty much on every device; there is an app that can successfully open, edit, or create a JPEG file. JPEG has lossy compression based on DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) that allows variable compression, which can reduce the size of an image up to ten times without noticeable difference in quality. However, opening, editing, saving an image in JPEG format is going to affect the image quality, which is going to degrade after each modification.
