HDRfy - Make photos closer to what the human eye sees. We often think our photos have captured everything. Until I reopened them with HDRfy. Details once hidden in shadows and flattened highlights begin to reappear. The sky feels clearer, sunlight more real, and memories more vivid. I suddenly realized this isn’t just enhancement, but a restoration of the scene. The realism and presence feel like turning back time. When I revisit these old photos, I’m not just seeing them—I’m reliving the journey. With advanced HDR Gain Map technology, HDRfy upgrades standard SDR photos into true HDR images with one tap—delivering far greater brightness range and detail on HDR/XDR displays. What you see is not an effect, but a system-recognized, truly displayable HDR image. From brilliant highlights to preserved shadow details, HDRfy brings images closer to real-world perception. ------ Features * Supports HDR processing for photos and Live Photos Live Photos generate an HDR cover and export as HDR Live Photos * Supports multiple export formats: HEIC / JPG (UltraHDR) / Live Photo / HDR Video * Import directly from your library with real-time HDR preview and editing * Resolution support: * Up to 8K HDR for photos * Up to 4K for video * Batch SDR - HDR conversion ------ What is HDR Gain Map? HDR Gain Map is a next-generation HDR representation. While preserving the original SDR image, it records additional brightness data, allowing the same image to: * Display normally as SDR on standard screens * Show higher brightness and richer detail on HDR/XDR devices HDRfy uses a standard HDR Gain Map workflow to generate true HDR image files recognized by the system, not simulated effects. ------ What can you do with it? Upgrade photos to HDR * Automatically generate HDR Gain Map * No manual adjustments or complex parameters required * One-tap conversion with instant results Enhance display quality (not filters) * Brighter highlights without overexposure * Significantly improved shadow detail * More natural color depth All results are based on HDR display capabilities, not simple contrast or saturation adjustments. ------ Why choose HDRfy Unlike traditional “HDR-style filters”: * Produces true HDR files, not visual simulations * Recognized by iOS and the Photos app * Full effect on HDR devices, compatible on non-HDR displays * Preserves original image structure and color relationships ------ HDRfy Membership Auto-Renewal Information Subscription Plans: - Weekly Plan: $2.99/week - Monthly Plan: $4.99/month • As a HDRfy member, you can unlock all premium features, remove ads, and enjoy future feature updates for free. • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase, and the subscription will automatically renew 24 hours before the end of the current period unless canceled beforehand. • You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. • If a free trial is offered, it will begin upon first subscription.

We’re thrilled that you enjoyed it and truly appreciate your support. ### 5/5 — Woah!! *2026-07-08* New era of images! So beautiful - you have to have an HDR screen to see, but if you do, you will know the difference between an HDR image and an SDR image because it will be clear! It doesn’t simply brighten the image. It gives it real HDR! Thanks so much! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you noticed the difference. Our goal has always been to create true HDR images with richer highlights and a more lifelike visual experience—not just make photos brighter. You’re absolutely right that an HDR-capable display is the best way to appreciate the full effect. It means a lot to know our work is making that experience stand out for you. Thank you again for your support, and we hope you continue enjoying HDRfy! More exciting improvements are on the way. ### 5/5 — 非常喜欢 *2026-06-26* 我的 xs Max 拍了很多照片，没有 HDR。而这款软件可以让 SDR 照片变成HDR 照片，我非常开心 **Developer response:** 感谢您的支持🙏，我会持续更新维护，继续把他打磨得更好用。可以小红书关注我，随时提需求。小红书：119114350。邮箱：jixuqianxingpro@163.com ### 5/5 — 推荐 *2026-06-23* 从哈苏发布X2D2开始，关注到HDR照片的还原效果，试用了几个软件，多少都有色彩断层，或者其他的小问题，这个软件更新后试了下，基本满足我的需求，好评 **Developer response:** 感谢支持！欢迎随时提需求。 ### 5/5 — 拯救废片的神奇 *2026-06-22* 平平无奇的照片加HDR效果后，简直上升了n个level，视觉效果真的太棒了。开发者也一直保持很高的更新速度，有问题能第一时间解决，真的太棒了！ **Developer response:** 感谢支持！我会持续更打磨。欢迎随时提意见和需求。 ### 4/5 — bug *2026-06-20* 失灵了，不能修改 **Developer response:** 抱歉给你造成不好的体验！麻烦您邮件跟我联系下，我了解一下具体的问题jixuqianxingpro@163.com 或者小红书联系我 119114350。 ### 5/5 — 很实用，解决了我的需求 *2026-06-12* 我愿意为优秀的 APP 付费 **Developer response:** 感谢您的支持🙏，我会持续更新维护，继续把他打磨得更好用。可以小红书关注我，随时提需求。小红书：119114350。邮箱：jixuqianxingpro@163.com ### 5/5 — 很实用，解决了我的需求 *2026-06-09* 我愿意为优秀的 APP 付费 ## Frequently asked questions about HDRfy ### Can a normal photo really become HDR with HDRfy?
