How Xonvert Converts CR2 to PUML

Converting CR2 to PUML with Xonvert is straightforward:

1. Import your file — Drag one or more CR2 files onto the page. There's no file count limit.
2. Review details — File name, size and detected format are displayed. Xonvert validates that the file is a valid CR2.
3. Adjust and convert — Fine-tune output quality if needed, then click Convert. The conversion uses client-side processing only.

How PUML Handles CR2 Data

Both formats are lossless, ensuring zero quality difference between input and output. Open CR2 in Lightroom, Capture One or darktable for editing On the output side, Render PlantUML in VS Code with the PlantUML extension Together, following these practices ensures the best conversion outcome between Canon RAW and PlantUML Diagram. Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. Canon RAW preserves the full range. PlantUML Diagram maintains the complete dynamic range.

This is a cross-category conversion from Image (Canon RAW) to Diagram (PlantUML Diagram). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your Canon RAW source and maps it into the PlantUML Diagram format. Image files typically contain professional Canon photography and post-processing, while Diagram files are used for software architecture documentation. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.

The CR2 to PUML conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. 12-bit or 14-bit color depth per channel
