Why Convert CR2 to TIFF?
Converting CR2 (Canon RAW) to TIFF is ideal for professional workflows requiring maximum image quality. TIFF preserves high bit depths and supports various compression options, making it perfect for archival storage, professional printing, and high-end publishing. Unlike PNG, TIFF can handle complex color profiles and multi-page documents, making it the preferred choice for professional photographers and graphic designers.
