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. Feature Highlights by Version • Free Trial: Watermark. Convert one photo or video at a time. Switch Full and Highlights video looks. • Starter: No watermark. Unlimited single-file conversions. Highlight masking, Peak, Range, Softness, contrast, and saturation. Paste from clipboard. • Pro: Everything in Starter, plus bitrate control (10-200 Mbps), batch processing, drag and drop on macOS (designed for iPad), and mixed photos and videos.

HDR Easy's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
