Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the best format to convert EXR to for editing?
A: PNG is great for editing—lossless and versatile. RunConvert.com makes the switch seamless, so you can tweak your render.
Q: What’s an EXR file, and why convert it?
A: EXR is a high-dynamic-range format for film and VFX. Converting to PNG or JPG makes it viewable or shareable. RunConvert.com flips it faster than a movie render.
Q: Why does my converted EXR file look different?
A: EXR’s HDR data might not fully translate to other formats. It’s like viewing a 3D render on a flat screen—some depth shifts. RunConvert.com keeps it sharp.
Q: Can I convert EXR to PNG without losing quality?
A: You bet! RunConvert.com keeps your EXR’s details crisp in PNG, though some HDR data might not carry over. It’s like flattening a 3D render for display.
Q: What do I do if the converted image doesn't look right?
A: If the converted image looks off, it could be due to incompatible format settings or a high compression rate. Try adjusting the conversion settings or select a different format. If you're still having trouble, contact our support team for assistance!
Q: Is there a way to change the DPI of an image during conversion?
A: Unfortunately, DPI changes aren’t part of the typical conversion process. However, you can resize and adjust image resolution before converting it to different formats. For DPI adjustments, consider using image editing software.
Q: Can I convert a photo to a sepia tone or other filter?
A: While RunConvert doesn’t offer built-in photo editing tools like filters, you can apply filters or effects like sepia tone using photo editing software before uploading your image to RunConvert for conversion to your desired format.
Q: How do I convert an image to a wallpaper size?
A: To convert an image to wallpaper size, you can specify the dimensions you'd like during the conversion. Wallpaper sizes often range from 1920x1080px to larger resolutions depending on your device, so make sure to input the correct size for your specific needs.
Q: How do I convert a logo into a high-quality format?
A: To convert a logo into a high-quality format, use formats like SVG, EPS, or PDF. These formats preserve the sharpness and scalability of logos, ensuring they look crisp at any size.
Q: Can I convert images to a PDF with multiple pages?
A: Yes, you can convert multiple images into a multi-page PDF. Upload your images, and RunConvert will combine them into a single PDF file with each image on a separate page.
What is EXR (OpenEXR)?
EXR (OpenEXR) is a high dynamic range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) for use in digital visual effects and animation.
This format supports multiple layers, channels, and compression types, along with both 16-bit and 32-bit floating-point pixel values, allowing it to store a much wider range of color and brightness information than standard image formats.
EXR has become an industry standard in film production, visual effects, and 3D rendering due to its superior ability to represent real-world lighting conditions and preserve detail in both highlights and shadows.
The format includes advanced features like arbitrary image channels, deep data support (for storing multiple values at different depths for each pixel), and various compression options optimized for different content types.
How to open EXR?
EXR files can be opened with professional visual effects and compositing software like Nuke, Adobe After Effects, and Blackmagic Fusion.
3D software packages including Blender, Cinema 4D, and Autodesk Maya can import and work with EXR files for texturing and rendering.
For image editing, Adobe Photoshop (with the appropriate plugin) and GIMP (with the OpenEXR plugin) can open and edit EXR files.
Specialized HDR image viewers like IrfanView (with plugins), HDRView, and OpenEXR's own exrdisplay utility can display EXR images correctly.
EXR is Developed by: Industrial Light & Magic (ILM)
EXR was Released on: 2003

How to convert EXR?
To convert EXR files to other formats like PNG, JPEG, or TIFF, use our specialized HDR converter that intelligently maps the high dynamic range to standard dynamic range formats.
For professional workflows, tools like Adobe Photoshop with HDR plugins, Nuke, or Blender provide advanced tone-mapping options when converting EXR to standard formats.
When converting to standard formats, be aware that you'll lose some of the dynamic range and precision that EXR provides, so choose appropriate tone mapping and compression settings for your specific needs.
For maintaining maximum quality while improving compatibility, consider converting to other HDR formats like TIFF with 32-bit floating point data or HDR format when the full dynamic range needs to be preserved.
