HDR Easy Transform SDR photos and videos into HDR for modern HDR‑capable displays on recent iPhones, iPads, and Apple Silicon Macs.  Not to be confused with legacy “HDR” exposure‑blending filters - this is standards‑based HDR for brighter highlights on supported screens.
 Note: HDR content will not display when your iPhone is in Low Power Mode, as HDR is disabled.
