## What is HDRfy?

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

### 5/5 — 很聪明的HDR增强软件

*2026-08-19*

这是我第一次遇见好用的HDR增强软件，它不是简单的拉曝光来实现HDR。而是实实在在的HDR图像，很夯，高光以及暗部细节都能通过预设参数来完美保留。如果是你也是HDR爱好者，我很推荐你入手这个软件。也希望作者能长久更新。

### 5/5 — 好用就完事了，已购入永久

*2026-08-08*

希望能增加一个给照片添加边框的功能（就是拼图的时候可以单张输出就可以了）
还有就是拼图的时候如果背景选白色的话激活hdr后边框会变得较为刺眼，如果边框在这个时候不激活hdr会好很多。
还有拼图功能在调整画布边距后（白或黑会与系统界面撞色）预览不到最外框，导致调整的时候比较盲目，无法从视觉上判断外边框的 大小

**Developer response:** 你好！感谢反馈！你提到的相关功能已发布。欢迎随时反馈。

### 5/5 — Groovy

*2026-07-17*

Groovy

**Developer response:** Thank you for the groovy feedback! 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.
