EXR is an HDR graphics file saved in OpenEXR Image format. EXR file contains high-dynamic range raster images. HDR imaging technique allows to create images of very high-quality. EXR images can be uncompressed or compressed using one of three supported compression algorithms (PIZ, ZIP, RLE).
XCF image file is used by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) software. XCF files store tracks, layers, transparency settings, channel, guides, and other elements used in image editing. XCF format doesn’t offer option to review image edit history.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the EXR file after converting to XCF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from EXR to XCF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting EXR to XCF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in EXR format, properly converted to a XCF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file EXR the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of EXR file to other than XCF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your EXR file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to XCF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the EXR file in its original format (without conversion to XCF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
