About formats

CR2 (Canon RAW version 2) is Canon's second-generation proprietary RAW image format, introduced in 2004 with the EOS-1D Mark II and used across Canon's DSLR lineup until the transition to CR3 beginning in 2018. CR2 files use a TIFF-based container that stores the raw sensor data compressed with a lossless variant of JPEG encoding (Huffman-coded prediction residuals), keeping file sizes manageable while preserving every bit of the original capture. Each CR2 file contains multiple image sections: a small thumbnail, a mid-size preview JPEG suitable for quick review, and the full-resolution RAW data at 14-bit depth on most bodies. The format records extensive shooting metadata including Canon's proprietary tags for lens model, autofocus point selection, Picture Style settings, dust-delete data from the sensor cleaning reference shot, and per-body calibration information. One advantage is the vast software ecosystem — CR2 is one of the most widely supported RAW formats in existence, handled natively by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, RawTherapee, darktable, and dozens of other converters and viewers, owing to Canon's dominant market share during the DSLR era. Reliable archival longevity is another key strength: the TIFF-based structure and well-documented layout make CR2 files relatively straightforward to parse even with custom tools, and the format's ubiquity means archival support will persist for decades.

DOC is the binary document format of Microsoft Word), the word processor first released in October 1983 for MS-DOS and later becoming the dominant document creation tool worldwide. The format stores documents as OLE2 compound document files — a binary container with multiple internal streams holding text content, formatting information, embedded objects, macros, and metadata. The text stream uses a complex system of formatting runs, section descriptors, paragraph and character property tables, and style definitions to represent arbitrarily complex document layouts including columns, headers, footnotes, tables, floating images, tracked changes, and mail merge fields. The format evolved substantially through Word versions, with Word 97 establishing the binary structure that remained standard through Word 2003 and created the .doc files most commonly encountered today. One advantage is near-universal compatibility — DOC files can be opened by virtually every word processor and document viewer across all platforms, from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Apple Pages. The format's rich feature support is another strength: DOC handles complex layouts, embedded OLE objects, VBA macros, and revision tracking that power enterprise document workflows. Although Microsoft introduced the XML-based DOCX format with Office 2007, DOC remains heavily present in existing document archives and continues to be produced by organizations maintaining compatibility with older Word installations.
