TinyEXR
A small, single header-only C++ library for loading and saving OpenEXR (.exr) images with minimal dependencies.
What is TinyEXR?
TinyEXR is a small, single header-only library for loading and saving OpenEXR (.exr) images. It solves the problem of integrating high dynamic range image support into applications without requiring large external dependencies or complex build systems. The library is written in portable C++ and is designed to be easily embedded into projects.
Developers working on graphics applications, game engines, rendering tools, or any software that needs to read or write OpenEXR images with minimal overhead. It's particularly useful for projects where dependency management and binary size are concerns.
Developers choose TinyEXR for its simplicity, portability, and ease of integration. Unlike larger OpenEXR libraries, it's a single header file with optional minimal dependencies, making it ideal for embedding. It also offers a security-focused design and supports a wide range of EXR features, including spectral imaging and multiple compression formats.
