2

The RAW sensor data is decoded and saved as a lossless PNG with sRGB colors.

3

Download your PNG file. Files are auto-deleted after 1 hour.

💡

Quality Note

PNG output is lossless — no compression artifacts are introduced.

Frequently Asked Questions

PNG stores the decoded CR3 losslessly, so a photo can be edited and re-saved repeatedly without accumulating compression artefacts. That makes it the safer working format during retouching. JPG is the better end format once the image is finished.

A 45 MP EOS R5 frame typically produces a 90–140 MB PNG; a 24 MP R6 Mark II frame lands nearer 45–70 MB. PNG compresses losslessly and photographic detail resists compression, so the PNG is often larger than the CR3 it came from.

No. KoalaPic decodes CR3 to 8 bits per channel, so the PNG holds 16.7 million colours rather than the 14-bit-per-channel range of the original. Everything after that step is lossless, but the recoverable highlight detail that justifies RAW is resolved during decoding.

No. A Canon sensor records no alpha channel, so the PNG is fully opaque even though the format supports transparency. Use the background removal tool afterwards if you need a cut-out.
