What is a DCR file?
DCR – Kodak RAW photo. DCR is a RAW photo format from Kodak: the data straight from the camera's sensor, before it is turned into a JPG. It keeps more detail to adjust, but needs a RAW converter to be opened.
DCR Converter →What is a JPG file?
JPG – JPEG image. JPG (also written JPEG) is the most common photo format. It makes photographs small by discarding detail the eye barely notices, but quality drops a little every time a JPG is saved again.

Good to know
- Choose a quality in Options: lower numbers make a smaller JPG with less detail.
- DCR files are developed on our server with the camera's own white balance, then saved as JPG. Expect a good-looking picture, not a replacement for your RAW editor.
- Tick Remove metadata in Options to leave out information stored in the picture, such as the camera and the place.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting DCR to JPG free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my DCR pictures uploaded anywhere?

How large can the DCR file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Can I change the size or quality of the JPG?
