About WebP Image Format

Canon CR2 RAW files give you maximum editing flexibility, but they are enormous and cannot be used online. Converting directly to WebP gives you a compressed, web-ready image in one step, no Lightroom export workflow required.
CR2 stores raw, unprocessed sensor data in a proprietary Canon format. WebP is a compressed raster format optimized for web delivery with broad browser support.
Why Convert CR2 to WebP?
Camera to web in one step
Skip the usual workflow of importing to Lightroom, editing, and exporting. Go directly from CR2 to a web-ready WebP for quick sharing.
Massive file size reduction
A 25 MB CR2 file compresses to 500 KB to 2 MB as WebP, making it practical for email, web upload, and social sharing.
