HDR / EXR to JPG questions

Where does HDR / EXR to JPG process my file?

On our own servers. This tool needs more than a browser tab can provide, so the file is uploaded over TLS, processed on our infrastructure — no third-party processing APIs are in the path — and both the input and the result are deleted within an hour.

What files can I use with HDR / EXR to JPG?

EXR and HDR files. The limit is 1 GB per file.

Can I run HDR / EXR to JPG on several files at once?

Yes. HDR / EXR to JPG takes one file at a time, so selecting several runs it once per file, one after another, and you get a result for each.

Do I need an account to use HDR / EXR to JPG?

No. HDR / EXR to JPG works without signing in, and that is not a trial — it is how the free tier works. An account only matters for things that need one to exist at all: larger server jobs against your quota, API keys, saved workflows and billing.

Can I run HDR / EXR to JPG from my own code?

Yes. Every tool on the site is reachable from the REST API with the same slug — `hdr-to-jpg` — and the same options as this page, so anything you can do here you can automate against your own files.
