Android viewer for Canon raw files?

[Bazsl]

Can anyone recommend an app that will let me browse and delete CR2 and CR3 files on an Android device? I have been searching for two days and have not found anything that works. Thanks.

Greetings,

I don't think the Canon Connect App supports RAW files on Android yet.  

My Pixel supports RAW, but I haven't tried to put a .CR2 or .CR3 file on it yet.  It takes RAW phots too, but they are saved as .DNG.  Its possible one of the Adobe Apps would work with it, but I don't think a proprietary format will work.

Basically,

I read that the Camera Connect and Control app can import RAW files.

I use it on my Samsung tablet all the time, but so far, I've only used it for jpg's.

Steve,

I'll have to check again. Last time I tried only the iOS version of Canon Connect supported raw import.

Rick,

They are different apps.

Here's what one reviewer said on a different forum from about 2 years ago,

"If snapseed and camera connect and control can handle RAW files on Android, then surely a major photography company like canon should be able to include include RAW support in their Android app."

Google Photos appears to me to handle Canon CR3 files. At least it displays a preview image.

image.canon seamlessly works with Google Photos

Capturing your photos with your Canon DSLR and backing them up to your library has never been easier.

I had the same problem with Samsung Tab s8+ tablet and Canon r6 and it annoyed me that I can't view the cr3 in the correct orientation until I found the galleryraw app - it's almost the only android app that allows you to quickly view canon .cr3 directly from a connected camera flash drive through a type-c adapter, like and import only liked to the tablet, or import it directly into lightroom

Note that most apps simply show the jpeg preview and don't actually bother with the raw data.
