Convert DCR to JPEG

What is DCR file?

DCR (Kodak RAW Image File) is a bitmap image format commonly used by .KDC, .CRW, and .CR2 digital cameras. It is based on the TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) specification, and allows for 8 bits of lossless compression per channel. A DCR file contains raw data that has been captured directly from a camera's image sensor, rather than information that has been processed by the camera's image processor. [ ⏩ ] DCR file extension

What is JPEG file?

JPEG (.JPEG) is an image format widely used in digital cameras and Internet conversational mediums. This file type is owned by The Joint Photographic Experts Group and is supported by most operating systems, image processing applications, as well as web browsers. JPEG files are characterized by lossy compression, where the file size is reduced by discarding some of the data, resulting in reduced quality but with, significant size reduction.

How to convert the file from DCR to JPEG?

To successfully convert the DCR file to JPEG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DCR). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case JPEG (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than JPEG).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DCR to JPEG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting DCR files to JPEG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension JPEG, while before this step we had the DCR file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new JPEG file, or not.
