CRW is Canon's original RAW format, based on the Camera Image File Format (CIFF) and used by earlier Canon digital cameras before being superseded by CR2. CRW files store unprocessed sensor data the same way modern Canon RAW formats do, but since the cameras that produced them are now older, converting these archived files to JPG is often necessary just to view or share them in current software.
Converting CRW to JPG demosaics the sensor data and compresses the result into a small, universally compatible file, making it easy to revisit, archive, or share photos from older Canon cameras using modern tools.
