Online convert cr2/cr3 files to dng without software

Unfortunately, it's not possible to convert CR3 files to DNG without software. The conversion process involves converting the proprietary raw data in the CR3 file into a standard format like DNG, which can only be done through a software tool.
Adobe's DNG Converter, which I mentioned in the previous answer, is a commonly used software tool for converting CR3 files to DNG, and it's available for free download from the Adobe website.
If you don't want to use third-party software, you can try using the Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software that comes with your Canon camera. DPP supports CR3 files and can convert them to JPEG or TIFF formats, but it doesn't support DNG format. So, you'll need to use a separate tool to convert the resulting TIFF or JPEG files to DNG format.
Overall, using software is the easiest and most reliable way to convert CR3 files to DNG format.
