Canon Raw 3 (CR3) is the current-generation raw file format used by Canon cameras, replacing the older CR2. CR3 is built on the ISO base media container — the same underlying structure as MP4 — and adds Canon’s C-RAW option, which produces files roughly 30–40% smaller than uncompressed raw with very little visible difference. Every CR3 keeps the full sensor readout plus the camera and lens metadata, so exposure and white balance stay fully adjustable.
Canon’s Digital Photo Professional is the reference application for CR3 and applies Canon’s own colour profiles.
Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw have supported CR3 since 2018, and RawTherapee and darktable now read it too. Older software may reject CR3 entirely — in that case convert it with our CR3 to JPG tool.
