How to convert cr3 to jpg in bulk without losing quality on a Windows PC?
Hi all,
Does the Photos app on Windows 10 support .cr3 image format? All my photos taken on my Canon camera are saved in .CR3 extension. Unfortunately, I can't open the images with neither the Photos or the Paint app on Windows 10.
Is there any way to convert cr3 to jpg in bulk on Windows 10 or Windows 11? It could be great if the conversion is lossless as I don't want to quality loss after CR3 to JPEG conversion. I am open to all free and paid solutions.
Thanks

As of recent updates, Windows 10 and Windows 11 have added support for Canon's CR3 image format through the Microsoft Raw Image Extension. This extension allows you to view and edit CR3 files directly in the Windows Photos app and File Explorer.
To use this feature, you can install the Raw Image Extension from the Microsoft Store. Once installed, you should be able to view thumbnails and change CR3 image from JPG without the need for third-party software.
If you don't see CR3 files supported by default, make sure your system is updated and that you have the Raw Image Extension installed.
- No. There is no bulk cr3 to jpg conversion from the Photos app. If I was not wrong, the Photos app can open the CR3 photos on Windows 11 but not on Windows 10. You have to do the conversion one by one with the Photos app on Windows 11.
