What is a CR3 (Canon Raw 3) file?

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.

How to open a CR3 file?

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.

What is a BMP (Bitmap) file?

Bitmap (BMP) is a pixel-based file format that stores two-dimensional images, generally without any compression. BMP utilizes a dot matrix data structure called raster graphics, which establishes the color depth of the image. BMP is mostly used for digital publishing of photographs. However, due to the lack of compression, BMP files are usually large.

How to open a BMP file?

BMP can be device-dependent or independent. BMP opens readily in the Microsoft Paint application and is often associated with Microsoft operating systems. Despite the association with Microsoft, a device-independent BMP, or DIB, can open on almost any device, operating system, or application.

In addition to opening BMP files, many applications can be used to create them, such as Adobe Illustrator. Should you need to convert the BMP into a vector-based image, then consider using CorelDRAW. Other applications that can open BMP files include Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Photos, Apple Preview, Apple Photos, and ColorStrokes.
