How do I convert an EXR file to PCX using your online tool?

1. Upload your .exr file via the file selector. 2. Set output options such as bit depth and color profile if needed (optional). 3. Click 'Convert'. 4. Download the resulting .pcx file. For batch conversions, select multiple EXR files and get a ZIP archive.

Why would I convert EXR to PCX instead of keeping it as OpenEXR?

EXR is a high-dynamic-range, floating-point format used in film and CGI workflows, but it's not widely supported by legacy image viewers, OCR tools, or older printing pipelines. PCX is an 8-bit per channel raster format with simple RLE compression, making it suitable for DOS-era applications, some document management systems, and quick previews. Converting lets you share or embed the image in software that only accepts PCX, at the cost of reduced dynamic range.

What happens to EXR attributes like layers, alpha, and color profiles when converting to PCX?

The conversion flattens all EXR layers into a single RGB image. Since PCX has no alpha channel, transparency is either discarded (filled with black) or you can composite it onto a background color of your choice before conversion. Embedded ICC profiles are carried over if PCX supports profile storage, and DPI/resolution metadata is preserved. However, EXR's 32-bit floating-point channels are quantized to 8 bits per channel, so any HDR values are tone-mapped to the LDR range, which may cause loss of luminance detail.
