About HDRView

HDRView is a research-oriented image viewer for examining and comparing high-dynamic-range images:

what the values actually are, which color space they are in, how two images differ, and what the file

claims about itself in its metadata.

Exposure, offset and gamma, false color over 17 colormaps, and zebra-striped clip warnings

True HDR output on Wayland compositors that support color management

ICC profiles, CICP code points, and gainmap HDR photos from recent phones

Pixel inspector, per-channel histograms and statistics, and difference blending against a reference

OpenEXR (multi-part and multi-layer), Radiance HDR, PFM, PNG, JPEG, Ultra HDR, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000,

AVIF, WebP, TIFF, DDS, QOI, and camera raw.

Download the latest .AppImage file.
Make it executable: right-click › Properties › Permissions › Allow executing as program, or run chmod +x the-file.AppImage in a terminal.
Double-click the file to run HDRView — there's nothing to install, and you can delete the file to remove it.
