Hey everyone,

I’ve just launched a new site – openhdri.org – where I’m sharing free HDRI environments for lighting and rendering.

At the moment there are 7 HDRIs online, and I’m uploading new ones almost every day as the library grows. Each HDRI is:

  • Unclipped (no blown-out highlights or clipped sun)

  • Full 32-bit OpenEXR format

  • Ultra-high resolution – up to 29K

Everything is free to download, no sign-up or paywalls.

Since the site is just starting out, I’d really appreciate any feedback or ideas on what kinds of locations/setups would be most useful for you.

👉 Check it out here: https://openhdri.org

    Thank you for kind words. 29K can be overkill, but 16K for any project in 4K is today standard if you want to see nice background. All hdris were stitched from images with sharpness=0, so you can add it in post production.
