Frequently Asked Questions

Is the conversion process secure?

Yes, we prioritize the security of your files. All uploaded files are processed on our servers and are automatically deleted after a short period. We do not store or share your data.

What is the maximum file size I can convert?

The maximum file size for conversion is 50MB. If you need to convert larger files, please contact us for alternative solutions.

Can I convert multiple EXR files at once?

Currently, our tool supports converting one EXR file at a time. We are working on adding batch conversion functionality in the future.

Will the conversion affect the image quality?

We strive to maintain the highest possible image quality during conversion. However, due to the difference in dynamic range between EXR and PPM, some loss of detail may occur. We employ tone mapping algorithms to minimize this effect.

About EXR and PPM 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. PPM (Portable Pixmap) is a simple, platform-independent bitmap image format. While it doesn't support the dynamic range of EXR, it's useful for basic image storage and manipulation. Converting from EXR to PPM often involves tone mapping to fit the EXR's high dynamic range into the PPM's limited range. This process can affect the final image appearance, so choosing a converter that handles tone mapping effectively is crucial.
