What to know about GIF to EXR conversion
- EXR supports both lossy and lossless compression and typically produces smaller files than older formats at the same visual quality.
- Transparency is preserved: EXR supports an alpha channel just like GIF.
- EXR cannot store animation, so only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted.
- EXR is best for high-dynamic-range renders and VFX compositing, and opens in Blender, Nuke, After Effects and Photoshop.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert GIF to EXR here?
Yes. Your files are processed entirely on your own device by WebAssembly code running in the browser. They are never uploaded, so nobody else can see them, and the converter keeps working even if your connection drops after the page loads.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no server-side limit. The only limit is the memory available to your browser, typically 1.5–4 GB on desktop computers.
Can I convert several GIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted in parallel according to your device's CPU cores, and you can apply the same settings to all of them.
