Extract text from Panasonic HLG photos (HSP)
To convert HSP HLG photos to another format, you need Panasonic Lumix or other Camera Raw software.
To convert other file formats to the "High Dynamic Range Image" file type, you need software like Panasonic Lumix or a similar tool.
The .hsp extension is highly fragmented, most commonly functioning as a Panasonic HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) Photo file used to store High Dynamic Range (HDR) images on Lumix cameras. It is also widely used as a source code script for the Hot Soup Processor, a Japanese programming language, and as a proprietary project file for enterprise software like Trimble TILOS and Aspen HYSYS.
To view Panasonic HLG files natively, you need an HDR-compatible display and software like Adobe Photoshop or Panasonic's official Lumix utilities. Hot Soup Processor files require the dedicated HSP toolkit, while Trimble and Aspen files are tightly locked into their respective enterprise environments.
Users frequently need to convert .hsp image files because they are not supported by standard web browsers or older SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) monitors. Sharing these files directly often results in an unopenable file or washed-out colors. Furthermore, proprietary project files like Trimble TILOS are strictly vendor-locked, meaning you cannot access the schedule data without an expensive, active software subscription.
For image-based .hsp files, converting to JPG or PNG ensures universal web and mobile compatibility, though you will lose the extended HDR data as it compresses to SDR. For script files, converting to standard TXT allows easy editing on any system.
Because the .hsp extension covers multiple unrelated, closed formats, standard online converters usually fail. Our system can inspect the file, detect if it contains an underlying TIFF image, plain text script, or ZIP structure, and often extract the internal content even if the original software is missing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HSP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FISH, AFL and ELD files.
If you want to convert HSP file to , you can use Panasonic Lumix or similar software from the "Camera RAW Image Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to HSP, try Panasonic Lumix or another comparable tool in the "Camera RAW Image Storage" 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 HSP converter.
