About HGR files
HGR files, known for their use in early Apple II graphics, present unique challenges due to their limited color palette and resolution. This file type, identified by the extension .hgr, is not commonly supported by modern applications, making conversion a complex task. To learn more about the Apple II graphics, visit the Wikipedia page.
Converting HGR files can be achieved using specialized software, such as IrfanView or XnView, which allow for the conversion into more accessible formats like .png, .jpg, .bmp, and .gif. However, these tools may require additional plugins or specific settings to handle HGR files effectively.
Important considerations in converting HGR files include maintaining the original image quality and ensuring compatibility with modern devices. The limited color range and resolution of HGR files often lead to quality loss during conversion, highlighting the importance of choosing the right tools and settings.

The HGR Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
