What is a Canon RAW (CRW) file?

Canon RAW (CRW) is the original raw file format used by early Canon digital cameras, including the PowerShot Pro series and the EOS D30, D60, and 10D. CRW uses Canon’s CIFF container rather than TIFF, and it stores the untouched sensor data along with the settings that were active when the shutter fired. Canon replaced CRW with CR2 in 2004 and later with CR3, so CRW is now a legacy format.

How to open a Canon RAW file?

Canon’s Digital Photo Professional still opens CRW files and applies Canon’s intended colour rendering.

Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, RawTherapee, and darktable all read CRW as well. Because support for this older format is gradually being dropped, consider converting your archive to DNG, or export finished images with our CRW to JPG tool.
