Technical note

Before you convert CR3 to SHP

CR3 files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to SHP bakes those decisions into the pixels, and highlight recovery is no longer available afterwards. Set white balance and exposure before the run rather than after.

Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

reaConverter takes CR3 files to SHP a folder at a time, on your own PC, ready to be added to a GIS project and georeferenced there.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

I was about to return my Canon R6 because I couldn't handle CR3 files. Then I found reaConverter – now I convert them to DNG or TIFF in seconds. The batch processing handles hundreds of files without a hitch. This software made my new camera usable.

As a pro shooter, I’ve tried Lightroom, Capture One, and online converters—none match this tool’s CR3-to-JPEG speed. It’s like having Lightroom’s quality without the subscription or lag.

I'm a hobbyist photographer, this app is my secret weapon. It converts CR3 files in a flash while saving precious storage space on my device. The built-in quality enhancement tools outperform what I've tried in Lightroom Mobile - all without the additional fees!

I'm a concert photographer, and I shoot thousands of CR3 files in a night. reaConverter's batch mode with custom presets (resize, sharpen, watermark) saves me hours of post‑production. It's the backbone of my workflow. Couldn't live without it.
