"Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch."

HDR to PPM Conversion: FAQ

Developed by Radiance, it uses a 32-bit floating-point representation per channel, enabling realistic lighting, shadows, and highlights.
