How do I convert an EXR file to AVIF using LetsConvert?

Step-by-step: Upload your EXR file, choose AVIF as the output format, adjust any settings like compression quality or HDR tone mapping if desired, then click Convert. Once finished, download the AVIF file. Our tool processes EXR’s 32-bit float color data and alpha channels automatically, so you don’t need any plugins.

Why should I convert EXR images to AVIF instead of keeping them as EXR?

EXR files are ideal for editing and VFX workflows because they store 32-bit floating-point HDR data and multiple layers, but they are heavy and not widely supported by web browsers. AVIF uses the AV1 codec to compress HDR imagery efficiently, producing much smaller files that load faster on websites while preserving wide color gamut and contrast. This makes AVIF a practical choice for delivering HDR images on the modern web.

How does EXR to AVIF conversion handle layers, alpha channels, and color profiles?

EXR files often contain multiple layers or arbitrary output variables (AOVs). When converting to AVIF, all layers are flattened into a single RGB image, and any alpha channel is preserved as transparency if the EXR has one. Color profiles are converted from the EXR’s linear floating-point scene-referred values to AVIF’s 8-bit or 10-bit integer PQ or HLG transfer curves, which may require tonemapping. This means you get a visually similar result for direct display, but not the full multi-layer compositing data.
