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. Key Benefits • Works well with SDR AI images, DSLR photos, and film scans - especially high‑contrast scenes. • Simple workflow: pick media (or drag & drop on iPad/Mac) and convert. • One‑tap HDR for photos and videos; optional contrast/saturation tuning (video; photo experimental). • Batch processing available in Pro. Device Requirements • HDR‑capable display (e.g., 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) • Output: 10‑bit HEIC with HDR metadata or JPEG UltraHDR (photos), HDR video (HEVC/H.265) ~100 Mbps • Standards: BT.2020 color Important • HDR appearance varies by device, display, OS, and viewing app; specific results aren’t guaranteed. • Some apps show HDR thumbnails over‑bright; non‑HDR devices may display HDR video too bright. Feature Highlights by Version • Free Trial: Watermark; convert one photo or video at a time (test HDR on your setup). • Starter: No watermark; unlimited single‑file conversions; video tuning; paste from clipboard. • Pro: Everything in Starter, plus custom Bitrate, batch processing; drag & drop on macOS (designed for iPad); mix photos and videos.
