| 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. |
| Cameras | Canon EOS R, EOS R3, EOS R5, EOS R5 II, EOS R6, EOS R6 II, EOS R7, EOS R8, EOS R10, EOS R50, EOS R100, EOS M50, EOS M50 II, EOS M6 II, EOS 1D X III, EOS 850D, EOS 90D, PowerShot G5 X II, PowerShot G7 X III |
| Metadata | Full EXIF metadata including lens data, GPS coordinates, and shooting parameters. Supports XMP sidecar files for non-destructive edits. |
