Frequently Asked Questions

Is the conversion process secure?

Yes, we prioritize the security of your files. All uploaded files are processed on secure servers and are automatically deleted after conversion.

What is the maximum file size I can upload?

The maximum file size is 50MB. If your file exceeds this limit, please consider compressing it or using a different conversion method.

Will the conversion affect the quality of my image?

We strive to maintain the highest possible quality during conversion. However, converting from a high-dynamic-range format like EXR to a grayscale format like PGM may result in some loss of detail. Tone mapping is applied to minimize this effect.

How long does the conversion take?

The conversion time depends on the file size and server load. Typically, conversions are completed within a few seconds.

About EXR and PGM Formats

EXR (OpenEXR) is a high-dynamic-range (HDR) raster graphics file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic. It's widely used in visual effects and motion graphics due to its ability to store a wide range of color and luminance values. PGM (Portable Graymap) is a simple image format that stores grayscale pixel data. It's often used for its simplicity and compatibility with various image processing tools. Converting from EXR to PGM can be useful for applications requiring grayscale images or for compatibility with software that doesn't support EXR directly. This conversion process involves mapping the high dynamic range of the EXR file to the grayscale range of the PGM format, potentially requiring tone mapping to preserve visual details.
