Frequently Asked Questions

View All Platform FAQs
How does online HDR/EXR conversion work without server uploads?

Conversion executes locally using standard HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly encoders inside your web browser. Your original images never leave your computer.

Can I batch convert multiple files to HDR/EXR at once?

Yes. You can upload multiple image files simultaneously, adjust global settings, and download all converted files individually or as a ZIP archive.

Is there any file size or conversion limit?

There are no artificial file size limits or daily conversion caps. Processing speed depends entirely on your local device CPU memory.

Radiance High Dynamic Range (HDR / EXR) Data Pipelines

What is Radiance HDR (.hdr / .exr)?

Developed by Greg Ward for the Radiance synthetic lighting system, `.hdr` (RGBE format) stores 32-bit floating-point luminance and color values per channel. Unlike standard 8-bit LDR formats (which clamp color highlights between 0-255), HDR encodes true physical light intensity values.

Why Convert Images to HDR/EXR?

Convert panoramas, skybox photos, or studio lighting setups into HDR files for 3D Image-Based Lighting (IBL) environment maps, VFX compositing pipelines, or tone-mapping workflows in 3D suites like Blender, Unreal Engine, Maya, or Nuke.

HDR / EXR Conversion FAQs

What is Image-Based Lighting (IBL) in 3D graphics?

IBL uses 360-degree HDR environment maps as light sources in 3D renderers, projecting realistic real-world reflections and light bounce onto 3D digital objects.

How does RGBE encoding store floating-point pixel brightness?

RGBE uses 8 bits for Red, Green, and Blue, plus a shared 8-bit Exponent byte, expanding dynamic range across several orders of magnitude without requiring 96 bits per pixel.

Can I use converted HDR files in 3D renderers like Blender or Unreal Engine?

Yes. The generated Radiance .hdr file format is natively accepted as an environment texture map across Blender Cycles/EEVEE, Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Maya Arnold, and Cinema 4D.
