Canon Raw CIFF Image Format (.crw)

The CRW file extension stands for Canon Raw CIFF Image Format, a raw image file format used by Canon digital cameras. Developed to store uncompressed and unprocessed images, CRW files offer high-quality image data that can be edited with Canon's software or third-party editors like Adobe Photoshop. Introduced by Canon, this format has been largely superseded by newer formats like CR2 and CR3 but remains significant in the history of digital photography for its role in preserving image integrity.
