What is a .HDP file?
Everything worth knowing about HD Photo Image File.
An HDP file is a Microsoft HD Photo image, also known as Windows Media Photo or JPEG XR. On Windows it opens by double-clicking; Windows Photos handles it natively via the built-in WIC codec. To use it on Mac or in a browser, convert to JPG or PNG with IrfanView or XnView MP.

Frequently asked questions
Is my .HDP file uploaded to a server?
No. Your .HDP file is decoded with JavaScript and WebAssembly. The decoders are downloaded once from a public CDN.
How do I see the other pages of a TIFF?
Use the arrows above the image, the page thumbnails in the side panel, or the [ and ] keys. Every page can be saved separately as PNG or JPG.
Why do some TIFF tags look like numbers?
Tags are stored as raw values. We translate the common ones (compression, color mode, resolution, orientation) and list the rest exactly as they appear in the file.
Can I view GeoTIFF or GeoJP2 maps?
We show the image and tell you it's georeferenced. To see it on a map with coordinates, open it in our Map Viewer.
Is my 16-bit or HDR image shown accurately?
Images with more than 8 bits per channel are scaled to 8 bits for display and export. The original precision is listed in the structure panel.
