Why convert DDS to HDR?

HDR isn't automatically 'better' than DDS in every case – but for High dynamic range photography, it's the clearer choice. This conversion processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly – no upload, no server, no privacy concerns. Perfect for sensitive or large batches. This kind of format decision tends to matter more as a project scales up.

Transparent areas will be filled with white background

This format requires a WebAssembly decoder — allow a moment for library loading
