Source vs Target Format
Key technical differences between formats
| Feature | Source Format | Target Format |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | High precision, often HDR-specific encodings | Lossy or lossless block-based WebP |
| File Size | Large (high bit depth) | Smaller (optimized for web) |
| Quality | Very high dynamic range fidelity | Perceptually optimized SDR fidelity |
| Transparency | Supported in some HDR formats | Supported as 8-bit alpha |
| Metadata | Rich EXIF/XMP, LUTs, camera data | Basic EXIF/ICC embedding possible |
| Primary Use | Editing, grading, archiving | Web delivery and fast rendering |
How to Convert Files
Follow these simple steps to convert your files
Upload Source File
Select or drag and drop your HDR (.hdr/.exr) file into the interface.
Adjust Settings
Choose tone mapping method, quality level, and desired output dimensions.
Convert
Click convert to apply tone mapping and encode into WebP in the browser.
Download Result
Save the WebP file or ZIP bundle; verify color and transparency on target browsers.

Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare HDR for Tone Mapping
- Adjust exposure or apply local contrast in HDR editor to control highlight clipping during tone mapping
- Flatten layered edits to a single RGB(A) image to avoid unexpected compositing when rasterizing to WebP
- Remove or bake LUTs and color transforms into pixels so the converter maps final colors predictably
- Resize to final display dimensions before conversion to reduce banding introduced by resampling
- Export a 16-bit TIFF preview if you need to compare high-precision intermediate results before WebP encoding
Configure WebP Encoding
- Choose lossless WebP for archival-looking SDR copies when preserving fine gradients matters
- Increase quality parameter for lossy WebP to reduce posterization in highlight transitions
- Enable alpha channel export only if original HDR contains meaningful transparency masks
- Set chroma subsampling cautiously; aggressive subsampling can blur saturated HDR highlights
- Use progressive resizing sequences to evaluate file-size vs visual trade-offs before batch export
Validate Across Targets
- Preview converted WebP on representative browsers to check for gamma and highlight shifts
- Compare source and WebP histograms to detect lost midtone or highlight detail after tone mapping
- Inspect edges at 100% zoom to catch compression ringing introduced by high compression ratios
- Verify embedded metadata fields if your pipeline depends on EXIF or copyright tags
- Test mobile rendering since device tone-mapping and browser color management vary
Pipeline Reliability and Privacy
- Process sensitive HDR files in-client to avoid server-side exposure when privacy is required
- Split large batches into groups of 20–50 to reduce memory pressure and avoid timeouts
- Automate checks that confirm presence of alpha or expected color profile after conversion
- Maintain originals in HDR archive format for re-editing; WebP is for delivery, not master storage
- Schedule bulk conversions during off-peak hours to ensure consistent CPU availability for tone mapping
Fast Processing
Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.
Client-Side Privacy
No media leaves your device.
Broad Compatibility
Output files work across all operating systems.
Pro Tip
For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
