HDR Easy

NEW HDR Easy V3!

Turn SDR photos and videos into HDR for HDR-capable displays on recent iPhones, iPads, and Apple Silicon Macs.

This is not a legacy HDR exposure-blending filter. Files use current HDR formats so highlights can go brighter on supported screens.

Note: HDR content will not display when your iPhone is in Low Power Mode, as HDR is disabled.

Key Benefits
• Works well with SDR AI images, DSLR photos, and film scans, especially high-contrast scenes.
• Simple workflow: pick media (or drag and drop on iPad/Mac) and convert.
• Share a photo or video from the Photos app to open it in HDR Easy.
• A preview lets you adjust the look before you save.
• Tune Peak Brightness, Saturation, and Contrast on photos and videos.
• Videos include highlight masking, with HDR Range and Softness, so HDR can stay in the bright parts.
• Full and Highlights looks for video. Trial can switch them.
• Batch processing and a bitrate slider are available in Pro.
• Includes a new pink color preset for the app.

Device Requirements
• HDR-capable display (for example iPhone 11 Pro or later, iPad Pro with XDR, Apple Silicon Mac with XDR).
• iOS 18.1 or later.

How It Works

• Input: JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, PSD, RAW, MP4/MOV/M4V (H.264/HEVC)
• Photos: 10-bit HEIC with HDR metadata, or JPEG Ultra HDR
• Video: 10-bit HEVC, HLG HDR (BT.2020). Default target 100 Mbps. Pro can set 10 to 200 Mbps.
• Standards: BT.2020 color, HLG for video

Important
• HDR appearance varies by device, display, OS, and viewing app. Specific results are not guaranteed.
• Some apps show HDR thumbnails over-bright. On non-HDR screens the viewing app tone-maps the video, so it can look different from the source.
• Video Peak Brightness above 2.00 can flatten or darken the picture on some screens and on Instagram.
