Canon Raw 3 (CR3) is the current-generation raw file format used by Canon cameras, replacing the older CR2. CR3 is built on the ISO base media container — the same underlying structure as MP4 — and adds Canon’s C-RAW option, which produces files roughly 30–40% smaller than uncompressed raw with very little visible difference. Every CR3 keeps the full sensor readout plus the camera and lens metadata, so exposure and white balance stay fully adjustable.
Canon’s Digital Photo Professional is the reference application for CR3 and applies Canon’s own colour profiles.
Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw have supported CR3 since 2018, and RawTherapee and darktable now read it too. Older software may reject CR3 entirely — in that case convert it with our CR3 to JPG tool.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster-based file type that compresses images for portability. PNG images can have RGB or RGBA colors and support transparency, which makes them perfect for use in icons, or graphic designs. PNG also supports animations with better transparency (try our GIF to APNG). The benefits of using PNG are Plus, PNG is an open format that uses lossless compression.
Generally, PNG files will open in your operating system’s default image viewer. PNG files are also easily viewable on all web browsers. If you are having trouble opening PNG files, use our PNG to JPG, PNG to WebP, or PNG to BMP converters.
Alternative programs such as GIMP or Adobe Photoshop are useful for opening and editing PNG files. PNG files are a bit larger than other file types, so exercise caution when adding them to a web page. One interesting feature of PNG files is the ability to create transparency in the image, particularly a transparent background.
