The format CR2 (Canon raw version 2) was developed in 2004 by Canon Inc. with the purpose of storing digital images. The main difference between CR2 and more common formats like JPG or PNG is that CR2 does not offer ready to view pictures. Raw formats like CR2 are advantageous mainly because CR2 enables the user to post process the image easier than ready to view without worrying about the quality loss. CR2 files are based on the TIFF (Tagged Image file) file specification. CR2 format as well as other raw images, can be viewed using programs like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, digiKam etc.
The JP2 file extension, also known as JPEG2000, was created by the JPEG Committee in the year 2000. The JP2 succeeded the first JPEG Standard in 1992 which was cosine transform based. It features the use of a "wavelet-base", unlike its predecessor JPEG standards. This file format uses a different image compression method. The compression method involves altering certain sections of the image, in terms of quality reduction. This method of compression ensures smaller file sizes and optimal storage. The JP2 file format has made several improvements over the JPEG Standard since 1992. The JP2 files can make use of both the lossless and lossy compression techniques.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for CR2 to JP2 conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload CR2 files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized JP2 results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent JP2 audio with dependable progress tracking.
CR2 format is the upgraded version of CRW, it offers the best quality to size ratio. What makes it so different from other formats is the fact that all the colours are recorded either in 12 or 14 bits and lossless compression is being used. The primary benefit of using CR2 format is that it allows professional photographers and designers the ability to modify pictures without any drawbacks, unlike some other file formats.
JP2 files are compress bitmap images. They support ICC profiles, grid resolution information handling, lossy compression, and lossless compression. JP2 files are often viewed similar to JPEG files and are smaller than JPEG files in terms of file size. The JP2 file extension is a superior file format compared to the JPEG in terms of sophistication. JP2 files work with most modern image viewers and image editing applications. It may not be compatible with image editing programs or viewers released before 2014 since it was released recently.
