Information about the format: CR3
| Format | CR3 |
| Company | Canon |
| Description | CR3 is Canon current RAW image format, introduced with the EOS M50 in 2018. It is based on the ISO Base Media File Format (ISOBMFF) and replaces the older CR2 format. CR3 files contain unprocessed sensor data at 14-bit depth, preserving maximum detail for post-processing. |
| Benefits | Supports both uncompressed RAW and compressed C-RAW (roughly 40% smaller files with minimal quality loss). Based on a modern container format that allows embedded previews and faster thumbnail generation. |
| Drawbacks | Requires updated software to open. Older versions of Photoshop, Lightroom, and other editors may not support CR3 without updates. Not backwards-compatible with CR2 workflows. |
