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.
JPGOUT
JPG is where photographs end up by default. Its compression discards detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a camera shot fits in a few hundred kilobytes instead of tens of megabytes. That suits scenes built from gradients and texture. It suits screenshots and line art badly, because the discarded detail shows up as smudging around hard edges. Every re-save loses a little more, so keep an original if you plan to edit the file more than once.
