How do I convert RAW to EXR?

Click the upload button to select your RAW file (e.g., CR2, NEF, ARW). Choose EXR as the output format, then pick a compression method like PIZ or ZIP (lossless) for HDR data. Click Convert and download the resulting .exr file with all color information intact.

Why convert RAW to EXR instead of staying with RAW?

RAW is unprocessed sensor data, unsuitable for direct compositing in VFX. EXR (OpenEXR) stores 32-bit floating-point HDR values, enabling seamless integration with Nuke, After Effects, and Blender, and its compression reduces file size without losing dynamic range.

What data is preserved during RAW to EXR conversion?

The conversion preserves the original image resolution, 32-bit float color depth, and embedded ICC color profile. If your RAW includes multiple exposures or alpha channels, they are stored as separate EXR layers. No visual information is lost; only the container changes, allowing you to access HDR data in any OpenEXR compatible application.
