About CR2 and PNG
image/x-canon-cr2
CR2 files store unprocessed image data captured by Canon DSLR cameras. They provide maximum flexibility for adjusting exposure, color balance, and dynamic range during post-processing. CR2 files are larger than JPEGs but retain far more image detail.
image/png
PNG is a raster-graphics file-format that supports lossless data compression. It supports palette-based images, grayscale, and full-color non-palette-based RGB or RGBA images. Its most notable feature is support for transparency (alpha channel).
Conversion Notes
CR2 is a lossless RAW format that preserves all sensor data, including metadata like exposure and colour temperature. Converting to PNG applies demosaicing and colour processing, resulting in a smaller, widely-compatible file. If PNG uses lossy compression, some fine detail is traded for size. For archival work, keeping the original CR2 alongside the converted file is recommended.
