How do I convert DCR files to EXR using LetsConvert?

Upload your DCR file on the converter page, choose EXR as the output format, optionally adjust settings like compression (e.g., PIZ or ZIP), then click Convert. The tool processes the raw sensor data and produces an OpenEXR file, which you can download. Batch conversion is supported.

Why convert from DCR to EXR?

DCR is a raw format from Kodak cameras, containing unprocessed sensor data. EXR (OpenEXR) is a high-dynamic-range image format used in VFX, compositing, and HDR workflows. Converting DCR to EXR retains the full dynamic range and color depth in a format natively supported by tools like Nuke, After Effects, and Photoshop, enabling professional HDR compositing.

What happens to color depth and metadata during DCR to EXR conversion?

The converter reads DCR's raw sensor data and outputs an EXR with a 16-bit half-float (or optionally 32-bit float) linear RGBA image. This preserves the full dynamic range and prevents highlight clipping. Color space is linearized (sRGB-to-linear or camera profile conversion is applied if embedded). Proprietary DCR metadata such as manufacturer settings is discarded, while EXR-compatible metadata like pixel aspect ratio and orientation are carried over.
