Does it change the person's face or skin?

No. There's no AI and no retouching. MakeHDR preserves your image exactly and only adds real HDR headroom to existing highlights.

Will it look over-processed?

No. It's true gain-map HDR, not a contrast filter — the effect is real added brightness in the highlights, with your edit preserved underneath.

Where does the HDR show up?

On HDR displays — most modern phones and laptops — across Instagram, iPhone and supported browsers. Other screens see your normal portrait.

Portraits with real, living light

A portrait is about light on a face. True HDR brings back bright catchlights and rim light without touching the person — no AI, no altered features — and it glows on the HDR screens where portraits get shared.

See the difference

Catchlights and rim light that shine

Window light, sunset rim and eye catchlights keep their real brightness instead of dulling — the spark that makes a portrait feel alive.

Skin stays exactly your skin

No AI and no retouching: MakeHDR never alters faces or content. It only adds HDR headroom to the highlights already in your photo.

Glows where you share it

Ultra HDR renders in HDR on Instagram and iPhone, and falls back cleanly on older screens.

No AI and nothing uploaded: the HDR is computed on your device, from your own pixels.
