Convert CR2 to TS
Fast, free, and secure CR2 to TS conversion. No registration required.
Got cr2 files? Convert them to ts in seconds — no signup, no upload, completely free. Canon RAW's weakness — requires RAW-capable software, very large files — is often the reason people convert to MPEG-TS Video, which counters this with error-resilient streaming format for broadcast television. Created by Canon, Canon RAW has become a standard in its category. MPEG-TS Video, developed by MPEG/ISO, continues to gain adoption worldwide. Conversion history is never stored. Once you close this tab, all trace of your files disappears completely.
Why Convert CR2 to TS?
There are strong reasons to convert CR2 to TS:
Faster loading: MPEG-TS Video files decode faster on most systems, reducing wait times when opening or streaming content.
Legacy system support: MPEG-TS Video is backward-compatible with older systems that may not support newer or proprietary formats like Canon RAW.
Future-proofing: MPEG-TS Video has decades of proven stability and will remain supported for years to come.
Eco-friendly: Smaller MPEG-TS Video files mean less bandwidth consumption and lower energy usage during file transfers — a small but meaningful environmental benefit.
Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify MPEG-TS Video as the required delivery format for image content.

Technical Quality Assessment
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the MPEG-TS Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in MPEG-TS Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Canon RAW input produces an excellent MPEG-TS Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. Canon RAW encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. MPEG-TS Video similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Converting a static Canon RAW image to MPEG-TS Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless CR2 source retains all original data. Converting to lossy TS will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
