FAQ
HDR to JP2 Conversion
What are HDR files?
The HDR file format (.hdr) is a raster image format designed to store high dynamic range (HDR) data, capturing a wider range of brightness levels than standard formats like JPEG or PNG. Developed by Radiance, it uses a 32-bit floating-point representation per channel, enabling realistic lighting, shadows, and highlights.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
