What to know about GIF to HDR conversion
- HDR has no transparency, so transparent areas of the GIF are filled with white.
- HDR cannot store animation, so only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted.
- HDR is best for HDR environment maps for lighting 3D scenes, and opens in Blender, 3D renderers and HDR viewers.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert GIF to HDR 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.
