| Description | The CR3 image format is a proprietary file format used by Canon cameras to store raw image data. It is the successor to the older CR2 format and was introduced with Canon's EOS M50 camera in 2018. The CR3 format is based on the ISO base media file format and uses a more efficient compression algorithm to reduce the file size of raw images while retaining their high-quality data. One of the main advantages of the CR3 format is its ability to store both raw image data and JPEG previews in the same file. This can be particularly useful for photographers who need to quickly preview and share their images without the need for additional software. In addition, the CR3 format supports lossless compression, which can further reduce the file size of raw images without sacrificing image quality. The CR3 format also includes support for metadata, which allows users to add information such as camera settings, lens information, and GPS data to their images. This can be particularly useful for organizing and managing large collections of images, as well as for providing additional context and information about individual images. Despite its advantages, the CR3 format has some limitations. Because it is a proprietary format, it may not be supported by all image editing software. In addition, some users may prefer to work with uncompressed raw image formats, which can provide even higher levels of image quality and flexibility. Overall, the CR3 format is a powerful and versatile format for storing raw image data from Canon cameras. Its ability to store both raw data and JPEG previews in the same file, as well as its support for metadata, make it a popular choice for photographers who need to quickly and efficiently manage large collections of images. |

| Description | JPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality. |

Canon's CR3 format stores the raw sensor data from your mirrorless camera — every photon recorded, nothing discarded. That's perfect for post-processing, but it's a problem when you need to share, upload, or view the photo on a device that doesn't speak CR3. Converting to JPG solves that in seconds.
