Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about adding HDR

What is HDR and why does it matter?
HDR (High Dynamic Range) allows photos to display a wider range of brightness levels. On HDR-capable screens (iPhone, iPad, modern Macs, Android 14+), HDR photos show brighter highlights, deeper shadows, and more vibrant colors. The effect is subtle but striking—photos have more "pop" and feel more lifelike.
Can I use any photo?
Yes. HDRPop works with ordinary photos. Bright scenes, reflections, skies, lights, and high-contrast images usually show the strongest HDR effect.
How does HDRPop add HDR?
Upload a photo and HDRPop processes it into an HDR version. You can read the technical details on the How It Works page.
Is my data safe and private?
Absolutely. Your photos are processed on our secure servers and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We use end-to-end encryption during upload, never store or analyze your images beyond processing, and don't use your photos for training. See our privacy policy for full details.
What file formats are supported?
We accept JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and BMP files up to 20MB. The output is an HDR photo you can download and keep.
How long does processing take?
Typical processing time is 2-3 seconds per image. Larger images (over 4000 pixels) may take up to 5-10 seconds. You'll see a progress indicator and can download your HDR photo as soon as it's ready.
Will the HDR effect work on all my devices?
HDR photos display with full effect on HDR-capable devices: iPhone XS and newer, iPad Pro (2018+), Macs with XDR displays, and Android 14+ devices. On standard displays, the photo will look like a normal high-quality image—there's no downside, it just won't show the HDR enhancement.
Can I batch process multiple photos?
Not in the web interface currently, but it's on our roadmap. For now, you can process photos one at a time. If you need batch processing for professional work, join our Discord to discuss API access or enterprise solutions.
