A CR3 file is a RAW image format used by modern Canon digital cameras to store uncompressed image data directly from the camera sensor. ### Can I resize my image during conversion? Yes, you can specify an optional maximum width or height in pixels to resize the output JPEG while maintaining the aspect ratio. ### How does highlight recovery work? The highlight recovery option helps restore details in overexposed or blown-out areas of the RAW image by reconstructing highlight data. ### Will the converter preserve my photo's metadata? Yes, the tool automatically extracts and preserves image dimensions and metadata from the original CR3 file during conversion. ### Is there a file size limit for the CR3 upload? Yes, the maximum supported file size for a single CR3 RAW file is 200 MB. ## Related tools - [Convert ARW to JPEG](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/arw-to-jpg): Convert Sony ARW RAW files to JPEG format.
