Convert PFM to EXR
Convert PFM images to EXR format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The Portable Floatmap (PFM) file format, also known as Portable FloatMap, is an image file format designed to store High Dynamic Range (HDR) images using floating-point values. Developed in the spirit of the Portable Pixmap format, PFM files contain image data with resolutions and byte order specified in the header. This format is particularly useful for applications requiring precise image data, such as computer graphics and image processing. PFM has been widely adopted in the IT industry for its ability to handle a wide range of pixel values beyond the standard 0-255 range, making it ideal for HDR imaging and other advanced visualizations.
The EXR file extension stands for OpenEXR, a high dynamic range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in 1999 for visual effects and film production. OpenEXR is widely used for its ability to store multi-channel, floating-point images, supporting complex visual effects workflows with superior image quality and precision. Its features include lossless and lossy compression, arbitrary image channels, and a flexible data structure, making it an essential tool in professional digital imaging and animation industries.
