Both formats, briefly
CR2IN
CR2 is the raw file a Canon camera writes: sensor readings, plus the shooting settings stored as notes instead of baked into the picture. Nothing has been demosaiced or contrast adjusted yet, so you can reset white balance, pull back a blown sky and grade color later without the damage those edits cause in a JPG. The costs are size and compatibility. CR2 files are heavy, and many programs and upload forms will not read them, so photographers export a JPG or TIFF copy for everyone else.
AVIFOUT
AVIF applies the AV1 video codec to still images. At the same visual quality it generally produces smaller files than JPG or WebP, and it handles transparency, high dynamic range, wide color and animation. The limits are decode speed and older software: current browsers cope, while an image tool from a few years back may not open the file at all. Use it for web delivery where bandwidth counts and you can serve a JPG fallback.
