## Overview

Convert your Canon CRW RAW camera files into standard JPEG images quickly and easily. This online tool automatically extracts image dimensions and metadata from the RAW file while giving you precise control over JPEG quality, output dimensions, brightness, saturation, and highlight recovery.

## Inputs

- **CRW RAW File** (file): Select Canon CRW RAW file
- **JPEG Quality (1-100)** (text): Enter JPEG quality (1-100)
- **Output Width (optional)** (text): Enter max width in pixels (leave empty to keep original)
- **Output Height (optional)** (text): Enter max height in pixels (leave empty to keep original)
- **Brightness** (range): Adjust image brightness. 1.0 = default, higher = brighter, lower = darker.
- **Saturation** (range): Adjust color saturation. 1.0 = default, higher = more vivid, lower = more muted.
- **Highlight Recovery** (range): Recover blown-out highlights. 0 = off, higher = more aggressive recovery.

## When to use

- When you need to view or share legacy Canon CRW RAW photos on devices and platforms that do not support RAW formats.
- When you want to quickly adjust exposure, color saturation, and blown-out highlights on a RAW image before saving it as a JPEG.
- When you need to resize and compress large RAW camera files into web-friendly JPEG images with custom dimensions.

## How it works

- Upload your Canon CRW RAW file using the file selector.
- Adjust optional parameters such as JPEG quality, output dimensions, brightness, saturation, and highlight recovery levels.
- Click convert to process the RAW file, extract its metadata, and download the optimized JPEG image.

## Use cases

- Archiving old digital photography portfolios shot on early Canon digital cameras into standard JPEG formats.
- Preparing RAW camera shots for quick social media sharing by adjusting brightness and saturation on the fly.
- Batch-preparing web-optimized previews of RAW images by reducing their dimensions and adjusting JPEG compression quality.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I convert RAW formats other than Canon CRW?

No, this tool is specifically optimized to process Canon CRW RAW files.

### Will the converted JPEG retain my photo's original metadata?

Yes, the converter automatically extracts and preserves image dimensions and metadata from the original RAW file.

### What is the maximum file size supported for upload?

You can upload CRW files up to 200 MB in size.

### How does the highlight recovery option work?

It reconstructs details in overexposed areas of the RAW image, with higher values applying more aggressive recovery.

### Can I resize the image during the conversion process?

Yes, you can specify a custom maximum width and height in pixels to resize the output JPEG.
