| Description | JPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality. |

EXR is a lossless image format, while JPG is a compressed image format made for photographs. People usually convert EXR to JPG to shrink the file for web pages, email or storage, accepting a small drop in quality.
Converting EXR to JPG keeps the full pixel dimensions. It drops a little fine detail (JPG re-compresses with loss, so sharp edges and text may show artifacts) and transparency (flattened onto a solid background). The resulting JPG file is usually much smaller than the EXR. Avoid re-saving the JPG repeatedly, since each save discards a little more detail.
OpenEXR is the high dynamic range format Industrial Light & Magic ships with every VFX delivery, but it will not open in Outlook, Slack, or any browser preview. Converting EXR to JPG tone-maps the 32-bit float pixels down to a compact 8-bit image every viewer accepts. Drop your .exr file above.
OpenEXR is the high dynamic range image format Industrial Light & Magic released as open source in 2003. Each pixel stores 16 or 32-bit floating-point samples per channel, supports arbitrary channels (RGB, alpha, depth, motion vectors, ID mattes), and uses lossless compression (PIZ, ZIP, DWAA). EXR is the standard exchange format between renderers like Arnold, RenderMan, and V-Ray and compositors like Nuke, Fusion, and After Effects.
JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the lossy raster image format published in 1992 that became the universal photo format of the internet. JPG uses DCT-based compression to shrink photographic images to roughly 5–15% of their raw size. Every browser, every email client, every chat app, and every preview pane on every operating system displays JPG natively.

Batch-convert a folder of EXR files to JPG without opening the interface:
TotalImageConverter.exe C:\exr_files C:\jpg_out /ConvertTo jpg /ProcessRecursively
Add /ProcessRecursively to include subfolders. Wrap the command in a .bat file to schedule EXR-to-JPG batches.
