What this means for you
Use it to cull: you can view, rate and sort these photos by their preview. Do not use the preview to judge fine focus or to edit: it is a small JPEG, already processed by the camera. For full-quality work, export a JPEG from the camera's own software or convert to DNG first.
Limits of this test: one sample file per camera, one compression mode (full size). Another mode or firmware can behave differently. Times come from one run on a Linux desktop PC and will differ on your computer. Whether Windows itself shows these files depends on Microsoft's RAW Image Extension and your camera model; we did not test that. Tested 2026-10-31. Rawlook engine (photocraft-raw 1.0.1).

FAQ
Why does my CR3 file open as a preview only?
The engine could not decode the sensor data for this file type: Canon CR3 (ISO BMFF / CRX) is not decoded yet. The camera always saves a JPEG preview inside the file, so viewers can still show the photo.
Will the preview be the same size as my photo?
For this sample the preview is 24.0 MP. The sensor size could not be read because the raw data is not decoded.
