Will HDR food photos work on Instagram and delivery apps?

On Instagram, yes: posted from the iPhone app, the feed shows it in HDR (we tested it on August 7th, 2026). Delivery apps accept it as a normal JPEG — that part is certain — but they recompress uploads and we haven't measured whether the glow survives, so we won't claim it.

Does it make the food look fake?

No. There's no AI and no invented detail — MakeHDR only adds real HDR headroom to the highlights your photo already has, so the dish stays true to life.

Can I convert a whole menu shoot at once?

Yes. Drop many photos and download them all as one ZIP. Conversions are unlimited — free with a watermark, or clean after a one-time purchase.

Food photos that make people hungry

People order with their eyes, on HDR phone screens. A true HDR food shot is physically brighter than the SDR photos around it — glossy sauces, fresh produce and steam all catch the light the way they did on the plate.

Highlights that look delicious

Glazes, oils, drips and crisp edges keep their bright specular highlights instead of dulling to flat gray.

Built for Instagram and your own menu

Ultra HDR glows on HDR phones in the Instagram feed and on your own site, and falls back cleanly everywhere else. It's a standard JPEG, so it uploads to any delivery app too.
