What is EXR?

OpenEXR is a high dynamic range image format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and released as open source. It supports 16-bit and 32-bit floating-point pixel values, multiple channels (including depth, motion vectors, normals), arbitrary metadata, and lossless or lossy compression. EXR is the standard format for VFX render outputs, compositing, and game texture baking.
