How to Convert EXR to PNG

EXR's 16 or 32-bit floating point format is the standard in VFX and film production, but PNG, while also capable of higher bit depths in some implementations, is far more broadly supported by everyday viewers, browsers, and design tools. Converting EXR to PNG is common when a render or composite needs to be shared with someone outside the VFX pipeline, or brought into general-purpose image editing software that doesn't handle EXR.

PNG remains lossless once the tone-mapping step happens, so no further compression artifacts are introduced beyond the reduction from floating-point to standard bit depth, and PNG's alpha channel support carries over any transparency data from your EXR's compositing layers.

1. Install Batchify Image Converter and Resizer Pro on your Windows PC.
2. Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single EXR.
3. Drag your EXR file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
4. Set the "From" format to EXR and the "To" format to PNG.
5. Click Convert. PNG files are written to the output folder, fully offline.

• 100% offline — your renders and plates are never uploaded anywhere
• Bulk conversion of entire render output folders, including sub-folders, in one click
• Preserves transparency from EXR's alpha channel where present
• Lossless PNG output avoids further compression once tone-mapped
• Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
• Option to delete original EXR files automatically after conversion
