Convert HDR images (EXR) online for free
The converter easily converts your EXR images to various formats - free and online. No Adobe Photoshop or or other Raster Image software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "High Dynamic Range Image" formats to EXR without using software like Adobe Photoshop or a similar tool.
The .EXR (OpenEXR) format is a high dynamic range (HDR) raster image file. Created by Industrial Light & Magic and maintained by the Academy Software Foundation, it stores deep color data using 16-bit or 32-bit floating-point values. It can pack multiple image channels - such as Z-depth, normals, and motion vectors - into a single file. It is the absolute industry standard for professional visual effects (VFX), 3D rendering, and compositing workflows.
To view or edit an .EXR file natively, you must use heavy, specialized software like Adobe Photoshop, Blender, or Foundry Nuke. Standard image viewers, mobile devices, and operating systems generally fail to open them or display them with severe color clipping.
The main disadvantage of the .EXR format is its massive file size and total lack of web compatibility. A single multi-layer frame can easily exceed 100MB. They are impossible to upload to social media, embed in websites, or send via standard email attachments. Sharing a render preview with a client requires immediate conversion.
For web viewing and quick client approvals, convert your .EXR to JPG or WEBP. If you need to retain a transparent background for a basic mockup, convert to PNG. For flat, high-quality printing or archiving, convert to TIFF. Drag and drop your file into convert.guru to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser - completely free, online, and without installing complex 3D software.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your EXR file.
Users also converted HDR, TER, ERX, ASS, XPR, KTX, EXE, PNG, ZIP, MP4, FFX, AEP and AEX files.
If you want to convert EXR file to MP4, you can use Adobe Photoshop or similar software from the "High Dynamic Range Imaging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW or AI files to EXR, try Adobe Photoshop or another comparable tool in the "High Dynamic Range Imaging" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EXR converter.
