JPG is a ‘lossy’ format, meaning that it is compressed to save storage space and make it easier to share.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, which is the name of the committee that standardised the format. However, you can usually adjust settings to save into other formats if needed. Many cameras, smartphones, and basic photo or drawing programs will automatically save into JPG format. JPGs are 2D pixel-based ‘raster’ images, which makes them better for photographs or scans, rather than digital illustrations which are often better as ‘vector’ images. JPG is a universal format which can be opened by almost all image-viewing or -editing programs, by web browsers, and by certain other apps, and they’re supported by most devices.
JPG, or JPEG, is one of the most widely used digital image formats. For the ordinary user, CR2 files tend to be converted to more accessible image file types, like the JPG format, meaning they undergo some compression and there’s some loss of quality.ĬR2 files are easily opened, and can be opened by Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Photos, Apple Photos and Preview for macOS. Raw image files, like the CR2 file, are used by photographers when printing because they often want the highest-quality print they can get - therefore, they use the sharpest picture available. This means that the file is incredibly crisp and high quality but also large in size. A CR2 file, like other raw image files, is a file that hasn’t undergone any processing or compression, meaning the image data has been stored in a way that mirrors exactly what was captured by the camera’s sensor. A CR2 file format also goes by its full name of a Canon Raw version 2 image file, and, as the name implies, it’s a raw image file that’s been created by a Canon digital camera.
