Previewing an EXR render without compositing software
OpenEXR is the format renderers and compositing tools use for high-precision images, and no browser displays it. We convert the EXR to a PNG and put it in the HTML page, so you can see the render on any device. It's a preview: PNG can't hold EXR's extra precision and brightness range, so those are reduced to a normal image. EXR to HTML used to fail; it works now.
How to convert EXR to HTML
- Upload the .exr file above.
- Choose HTML.
- Convert and open the .html file.
A file that isn't a valid image gets a plain message.
Other EXR conversions
For a preview image file, use EXR to PNG or EXR to JPG. The EXR converter lists every option.
