How Can I Bulk Convert CR2 Images to JPG on my Windows 11 PC?
Hi all, I've got a bit of a photo storage challenge on my hands. I recently took over 1000 photos with my Canon camera, and they’re all in CR2 format. While the CR2 format is great for editing, i...
I recently had the same hassle with a huge batch of CR2 photos from my Canon. I tried a few different options, but Any2Pic ended up being the easiest for what I needed. It handled over a thousand photos without freezing up, which was a relief since some tools just crash under that load. It’s completely offline, so I didn’t have to worry about uploading anything, and the image quality stayed solid in the conversion to JPG.
I followed this tutorial (worked for me):

Plus, it’s straightforward to use, even if you’re not super technical. If you’re dealing with a lot of CR2 files, it’s definitely worth a shot.
Converting CR2 files to JPG on a Windows PC using tools like Maglcz or command line can definitely be efficient, but unlike dragging and dropping files in a graphical interface where you can see a progress bar and get immediate feedback, the command line is pretty "silent.”You just type and hit enter, and while it runs, you're left staring at a black screen hoping it's doing its thing. If something goes wrong, it can be tricky to figure out without any visual cues.
When you use dedicated software with a GUI, you often get options to adjust things like quality, color profiles, and more before hitting convert. With Maglcz and the command line, you lose out on that flexibility. You'll just be converting straight up without any chance to tweak the settings, which might mean you end up with JPGs that don't look quite as nice as you'd hope.
