Convert JPEG to HDR

File Extension JPEG
Full Name JPEG Bitmap Image Format

Files with the .JPEG extension contain lossy compressed images recorded in a standardized format created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group – JPEG for short - as well as metadata of this image, such as space and color profile, as well as image dimensions. The color scale of the image can be up to 24-bit.

File Extension HDR
Full Name High Dynamic Range Image Format

HDR file format is commonly used in digital photography. HDR file stores image in raster graphics format. HDR files can store multiple versions of the same image, each with different exposition parameters (some more bright than others, for example). In effect an image with wide color range can be obtained.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "JPEG") to another (referred to as "HDR"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, JPEG file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format JPEG to format HDR becomes essential.

So, how can we perform JPEG to HDR file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format JPEG and transforming it into format HDR. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of JPEG to HDR converters.

We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the JPEG file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file JPEG, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the JPEG file to the application
  • Select the output format of the HDR file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file HDR on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted HDR file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?

File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
