FAQ
CR2 to KTX2 Conversion
What are CR2 files?
CR2 is the RAW format used by Canon cameras. Also known as "digital negatives", RAW images are often preferred by photographers because they can be highly customized during the digital post-processing and they retain a large amount of image details. The disadvantage of using this format is its enormous size, which makes it difficult to store or send by email. In addition, CR2s are not compatible with many image viewing programs and are not accepted by image sharing websites.
What are KTX2 files?
KTX2 (Khronos Texture 2.0) is a container file format for GPU-ready texture data, published by the Khronos Group as the successor to the original KTX format. A single file can hold 1D, 2D, 3D, cubemap and array textures together with their full mipmap chains, stored in the memory layout expected by graphics APIs such as Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenGL ES, so the contents can be uploaded to the video card with little or no additional processing. Besides plain block-compressed data, KTX2 supports supercompression: Basis Universal (ETC1S and UASTC) allows one file to be transcoded at load time into the format the target device actually needs, while Zstandard and ZLIB simply reduce file size. The format is the texture payload used by the glTF KHR_texture_basisu extension, which makes it common in 3D assets for the web, game engines and AR applications.
