How to Convert TIF to EXR

OpenEXR was developed by Industrial Light & Magic for visual effects and film production, storing image data in 16 or 32-bit floating point rather than TIF's typical 8 or 16-bit integer values. TIF can support relatively high bit depth for a standard image format, but it still doesn't carry the kind of unbounded floating-point luminance data that EXR is designed to store for professional compositing and color grading.

Converting TIF to EXR is mainly useful for bringing reference images, scans, or finished print assets into VFX software like Nuke, Blender, or After Effects, which are built around EXR as their native working format, even though the conversion itself doesn't add dynamic range beyond what the original TIF actually captured.

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 TIF file.
3. Drag your TIF file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
4. Set the "From" format to TIF and the "To" format to EXR.
5. Click Convert. EXR files are written to the output folder, fully offline.
