CR2 to RIFF Conversion: FAQ
What are CR2 files?
CR2 is the RAW format used by Canon cameras. Also known as "digital negatives", RAW images are often preferred by photographers because they can be highly customized during the digital post-processing and they retain a large amount of image details. The disadvantage of using this format is its enormous size, which makes it difficult to store or send by email. In addition, CR2s are not compatible with many image viewing programs and are not accepted by image sharing websites.
What are RIFF files?
The Resource Interchange File Format RIFF is a structured multimedia container format developed through a collaboration between Microsoft and IBM in 1991. As an adaptation of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), RIFF implements a tagged chunk architecture where each data segment contains a 4-character identifier, 32-bit size field, and payload data. This design enables hierarchical organization of heterogeneous multimedia streams while maintaining platform-independent data representation through strict little-endian byte ordering.
