How do I convert an EXR file to DNG using this tool?

Upload your EXR file, choose DNG as the output format, and optionally set the bit depth (e.g. 16-bit) and compression (lossless). The converter will map EXR's floating-point RGB data into DNG's raw format and once done, you can download the DNG file. It preserves the original resolution and color depth as much as possible.

Why would I need to convert EXR to DNG?

OpenEXR is common in VFX and 3D rendering for HDR imagery, but it has limited support in standard photography tools. DNG is an open raw format supported by Lightroom, Photoshop, and many other editors. Converting EXR to DNG gives you a smaller, more compatible file while retaining the high dynamic range data, making it easier to edit in a normal photo workflow.

What happens to layers, color profiles, and HDR data when converting EXR to DNG?

The converter extracts the main image layer from the EXR and maps its RGB channels into DNG. Color profiles are converted to standard DNG color spaces (such as ProPhoto RGB) to maintain continuity. HDR data is retained by converting the floating-point values to a higher bit-depth integer (16-bit) in DNG, so most dynamic range is preserved. However, extra EXR layers like Z-depth, normals, or motion vectors are not carried over into DNG.
