Converting CR2 to PNG: what to know
CR2 is the RAW format of older Canon DSLRs. PNG is chosen instead of JPG when the photo has to be saved losslessly, for example for further editing or retouching without compression artifacts.
The photo is developed automatically with default settings, without manual exposure or white balance correction; for fine-tuning use a RAW editor. A photo in PNG is very large, so for sharing and publishing JPG is more practical. EXIF metadata is not copied.
