Convert PS to CR2
Fast, free, and secure PS to CR2 conversion. No registration required.
Instantly transform ps into cr2 with our zero-upload converter. All processing runs on your own device. PostScript File shines when you need precise device-independent print rendering with vector graphics. But when complete unprocessed sensor data for maximum editing flexibility matters more, Canon RAW is the format to reach for — hence this conversion. Format-specific metadata and encoding parameters are preserved whenever the target format supports them. There's no daily limit on free conversions — use Xonvert as many times as you need, every day.
Why Switch from PS to CR2?
There are strong reasons to convert PS to CR2:
Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify Canon RAW as the required delivery format for document content.
Cloud storage efficiency: Canon RAW's efficient encoding makes archival storage practical — important for large collections.
Workflow integration: When your pipeline requires Canon RAW input, converting from PostScript File is the most reliable bridge between the two environments.
Universal viewer support: Nearly every operating system includes a built-in viewer for Canon RAW, eliminating the need for third-party applications.
Archival needs: Canon RAW is ideal for lossless archival, making it a solid choice for preserving PostScript File content.

Will You Lose Quality Converting PS to CR2?
Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible PostScript File source always yields the best Canon RAW output. Turing-complete programming language at its core When this data is re-encoded into Canon RAW, 12-bit or 14-bit color depth per channel Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original.
This is a cross-category conversion from Document (PostScript File) to Image (Canon RAW). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your PostScript File source and maps it into the Canon RAW format. Document files typically contain professional printing, while Image files are used for professional Canon photography and post-processing. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PS format?▼
PostScript File is Adobe page description language for precise print output. It is primarily used for professional printing, pre-press workflows and legacy print production. Page description language, not a data format
Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?▼
Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target CR2 format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.
Does the conversion preserve metadata?▼
Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
Can I share the converted CR2 file directly?▼
Yes. After conversion, you can download the CR2 file and share it via email, messaging apps, cloud storage, or any other method you prefer.
Does converting PS to CR2 change the resolution?▼
Resolution is not applicable for document files. All content data transfers at full fidelity.
Do I need to install any software?▼
No installation required. The converter runs entirely in your web browser. No plugins, extensions or desktop apps needed.
How do I know the conversion was successful?▼
Xonvert validates the output file and shows a success confirmation. You can preview the result before downloading. If any issue occurs, a clear error message is displayed.
