How do I convert a TIFF image to EXR using LetsConvert?

On the TIFF to EXR page, click the upload button to select your TIFF file. Adjust optional settings like compression method (e.g., ZIP or PIZ) or color space, then click 'Convert' and download your .exr file. You can also drag and drop multiple TIFFs for batch conversion.

Why should I convert TIFF to EXR instead of keeping TIFF?

EXR (OpenEXR) supports 16-bit and 32-bit floating-point HDR channels, making it essential for VFX and HDR compositing. It offers lossless-compressed formats like PIZ and ZIP that can significantly reduce transparent and linear-light image file sizes compared to uncompressed TIFFs, while preserving full color depth. EXR is also the standard interchange format in tools like Nuke, After Effects, and Resolve, ensuring better pipeline compatibility.

Does TIFF to EXR conversion maintain layers, alpha channels, and color profiles?

TIFF can store multiple layers, alpha channels, and embedded ICC profiles. When converting to EXR, the primary raster image is flattened, but alpha transparency is preserved as the EXR's alpha channel. ICC color profiles are not embedded in EXR; instead, the conversion applies the profile to linearize color to the working color space. If your TIFF contains multiple layers, only the composite layer is retained—a layered EXR is not generated from TIFF via this converter. Resolution and bit depth (8-bit, 16-bit) are preserved and upconverted to 16-bit floating-point where needed.
