Set the rendered image file format

Maya can save rendered image files in one of several standard image file formats. By default, Maya saves rendered image files in the Maya Image File Format (Maya IFF).

For a comprehensive list of supported file formats, see File formats.

Note

For image formats that cannot include mask or depth channels, Maya generates a separate mask or depth file.

To set the file format of rendered images

In the File Output section of the Render Settings window, select the Image Format from the drop-down list.
