Convert CR2 to JPG
A Canon shoot needs to be shared or uploaded, and nothing outside the photographer's editing software will open a CR2.

What actually changes
CR2 and JPG are not the same picture in two wrappers.
A CR2 holds the sensor's mosaic data, not a picture. The engine demosaics it, applies a white balance and a tone curve, then encodes a JPEG. That processing step is why the same raw file can produce quite different JPEGs in different tools.
Worth knowing first
The result will not match what you saw on the camera's screen. That preview was Canon's own Picture Style rendering, which is proprietary; a third-party demosaic produces a flatter, more neutral image. It also ignores any edits stored in an XMP sidecar.
Questions
CR2 to JPG, answered
Am I losing the raw advantages?
Yes. Highlight recovery, white balance latitude and 14-bit depth all live in the raw file. The JPEG is 8-bit and baked. Keep the CR2.
Why is the JPEG so much smaller?
A CR2 stores 14 bits per photosite before any compression. The JPEG stores 8 bits per channel after lossy compression.
