EMF at a glance
EMF
Convert to EMF when placing vector graphics into Windows-centric documents, presentations, reporting systems, or print workflows that expect an Office-friendly scalable graphic.
It is suitable for charts, diagrams, and embedded illustrations in desktop-office environments.
For cross-platform web and design exchange, SVG or PDF are often better choices.
EXR at a glance
EXR
Convert to EXR when the image needs high dynamic range, floating-point precision, render passes, or linear-light compositing.
It is ideal for CGI, VFX, and advanced HDR production pipelines.
