Does this work on AutoTrader, Cars.com and Marketplace?

Yes. The output is a standard JPEG with an embedded gain map, so it uploads to any listing site. HDR phones show the glow; everywhere else sees your normal photo.

Do I need pro gear to shoot the car?

No. MakeHDR builds the gain map from any finished JPEG, including phone photos — no bracketing, no RAW, no reshoot.

Can a dealership convert its whole inventory?

Yes. Drop many photos and download them all as a single ZIP. Conversions are unlimited on any paid plan.

Car photos that sell the metal

Buyers scroll listings on HDR phones, and a car that physically glows gets the click. True HDR keeps paint, chrome and reflections bright on screen — exactly what makes a car look worth the asking price.

See the difference

Paint and chrome that pop

Specular highlights on bodywork, wheels and trim stay bright instead of dulling — the shine that signals a well-kept car.

Golden-hour exteriors

Sunset and showroom-light shots keep their glow instead of flattening, so the car looks as good online as in person.

Batch a whole lot

Dealers can drop an entire inventory shoot and get HDR versions back as a ZIP. $12.99/month, unlimited.
