What This Tool Is For

This tool demonstrates that CR2/RAW files can be completely forged. The actual image inside the file can be replaced with any other image while the file remains valid and appears authentic.

RAW files are often trusted as proof that a photo is original. This tool shows why that trust is misplaced.

Key Insight: A CR2 file with perfect metadata and valid structure can still contain a fabricated image.

Intended Audience

Built for professionals and researchers investigating image authenticity:

Journalists Law Enforcement FBI / IC3 Forensic Analysts Security Researchers OSINT Investigators

Access is restricted and manually approved to prevent misuse.

Why This Was Made

The 19 Jonas Cloud Image Files shared online are documented examples of RAW image fraud. These fabricated files have been used to:

  • Target individuals with disinformation
  • Run coordinated deception campaigns
  • Harass and silence those who expose the fraud

This tool exists to protect users by raising awareness about these vulnerabilities.
