CR2 is a graphic file format developed by the manufacturer of camcorders and cameras Canon. This means that all images made by the equipment of this manufacturer are saved by default in CR2 format (short name from Canon Raw Image File). One of the most attractive properties of images of the specified format is their high quality, even if the file is being edited (color balance, contrast, brightness change). Data for the CR2 format image is obtained directly from the matrix. Among the main drawbacks of the format are the large file size, as well as poor compatibility with other software products.
BPG is a new graphic format developed by French programmer Fabrice Bellard, known as the creator of the popular programs FFmpeg, QEMU, LZEXE. The main task of the new format is to become a replacement, first of all, for the super popular JPEG image format. According to the developer, such a replacement is necessary where the file size or quality is of great importance. BPG (full name Better Portable Graphics) has a high compression ratio, which, when equal to JPEG quality, allows you to make files much smaller. Moreover, compression is possible without loss. Since the BPG format also supports animation, this gives rise to forecasts that this particular format can successfully compete and eventually replace the animated GIF on the Internet, since it surpasses it in all respects. So, GIF-animation of similar quality will have a much larger size. The BPG format is based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression technology. Mozilla research has shown that HEVC coding demonstrates clear superiority over other technologies. However, the HEVC standard does not have perfect patent purity, and therefore many browsers so far refrain from supporting BPG. Therefore, to download images by most web browsers, you need to use a special Javascript decoder.
