How do I convert EXR to AI using LetsConvert?

Upload the EXR file, select AI as the target format, choose whether to preserve transparency, click Convert, then download the AI file containing the embedded raster. Open it in Adobe Illustrator to place on an artboard.

What is the difference between EXR and AI, and why convert?

EXR is a high-dynamic-range raster format used for rendering and VFX, while AI is a vector format for illustrations. Converting an EXR to AI lets you incorporate HDR imagery into vector designs, making it easier to share visual assets with Illustrator users and reducing file sizes when the raster is compressed.

How does the EXR to AI conversion handle HDR data and transparency?

The 32-bit floating-point HDR data is tone-mapped to 16-bit per channel for AI compatibility, which reduces dynamic range but preserves visible colors. All EXR layers are flattened; alpha transparency is retained as an embedded mask, and the original resolution is kept. Color profiles are embedded in the AI output.
