Why Merge CRW to PDF?
CRW is Canon's legacy RAW photo format used by older Canon cameras (PowerShot, EOS D30/D60/10D era). CRW was replaced by CR2 and later CR3, but many photographers still have CRW archives. These files require older Adobe Camera Raw plugins, Darktable, or IrfanView to open. Merging CRW files to PDF creates a viewable document from your legacy Canon photos.
Each CRW file is rendered and placed as one page in the combined PDF.

| CR2 | 2004–2018 | EOS 5D–5D IV, Rebel series | CR3 |
