OpenHDRI.org — A CC0 Library of High-Quality HDRIs for Artists and Studios

OpenHDRI.org is a growing library of high-quality, free-to-use HDRI maps created for 3D artists, illustrators, game developers, and VFX studios. Every HDRI on the site is released under the CC0 license, meaning it can be used in both personal and commercial projects with no attribution required.

All maps are captured, processed, and published by a single creator using professional panoramic equipment and meticulous editing workflows. The files are delivered in 29K resolution, offering exceptional clarity, dynamic range, and realistic lighting for CGI scenes, product visualization, and architectural rendering.

The site focuses on quality over quantity, offering natural light environments, studio lighting setups, and unique locations across Eastern Europe. New maps are added regularly, ensuring a continuously expanding resource for the global 3D community.

OpenHDRI.org exists to support artists by removing the cost barrier for high-end lighting assets, while maintaining quality comparable to top commercial vendors. It’s a passion-driven, independent project built for the community.

Anyone can download the maps instantly — no account, no paywall, no email collection. Just pure, open lighting.
