About Canon RAW (CR3)
CR3 is Canon's current RAW format, introduced in 2018. It is based on the ISO base media file format and adds C-RAW, a smaller compressed variant.
Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras and recent Canon DSLRs and compacts.
RAW software older than 2018 does not read CR3, and C-RAW files trade some image data for their smaller size.
Convert CR3 to WebP online free, no account required — WebP is Google's web image format with lossy or lossless compression.
Change CR3 to WebP without losing quality — convert CR3 to WebP free in your browser.
Why won’t my older software open the CR3 files from my newer Canon? CR3 arrived with cameras from 2018 onward, and programs that were never updated only know the older CR2 layout — converting to JPG or DNG keeps them readable.
About WebP
WebP is an image format released by Google in 2010. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Websites use it to serve images smaller than the equivalent JPEG or PNG; all current browsers display it.
Some older desktop software and many print services still do not accept WebP files.
Why convert images to WebP? It cuts file sizes by a quarter to a third compared with JPG at the same quality, and every current browser displays it.
What changes when you convert CR3 to WebP
- The CR3 is turned into a single finished WebP picture; extra data a CR3 file can hold, such as RAW sensor data, layers or additional images, does not carry over.
- The CR3 sensor data is developed into a finished WebP picture with default settings; the extra room a RAW file gives for later exposure and white-balance edits does not carry over.
- RAW demosaicing is best-effort; results vary by camera.
