Radiance HDR is lighter and commonly used for environment maps and simple HDRI exchange. OpenEXR is better suited for production graphics workflows with richer metadata, more channels, and stronger floating-point support. For desktop HDR texture compression, both can feed BC6H / KTX2 HDR routes, but EXR is more common in professional pipelines.
