Supported image formats

Meshroom supports most image formats, including many RAW formats such as '.exr', '.rw2', '.cr2', '.nef', '.arw',... The image importer is based on OpenImageIO, so all formats supported by OpenImageIO can be imported to Meshroom. However it is recommended to use '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.tif', '.tiff' or '.png' at the moment.

Note: On some datasets the reconstruction quality could be reduced or cause unexpected interruption of the pipeline. (#G) Convert your RAW image to '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.tif', '.tiff' or '.png' to resolve this problem.

Problem: Images-cannot-be-imported

OpenImageIO supports reading the following file formats:
