Free HDR Image Maker

Make HDR is a fast, browser-based tool that lifts highlights, boosts brightness, and enhances color so your images look crisp on HDR screens. Upload a single photo or a bracketed set, adjust the sliders, and download an HDR-ready AVIF in seconds.

Why Use This HDR Tool?

Instant HDR Look Without Heavy Software

Traditional HDR workflows require photo editors and lots of manual tuning. This tool gives you a clean, natural HDR boost with simple controls, so you can move quickly when you need sharp, eye-catching images.

Adjustable, Not Overcooked

You control the brightness boost, white point, and saturation. That means you can keep highlights clean and colors realistic instead of pushing everything into a noisy, oversaturated look.

Built for Fast Turnarounds

Whether you are prepping a product image, listing photo, or social post, the workflow is quick: upload, tune, download. No installs, no sign-ups.

How to Make an Image HDR

1. Upload your image(s) - drag and drop or click to select a photo.

3. Click Make HDR - the tool processes your image into HDR output.
4. Download - save the AVIF file to your device.

Common Use Cases

Real Estate and Property Listings

HDR photos help interiors and exteriors look bright and inviting without losing detail in windows or shadows.

Product and Ecommerce

Boosting highlights and color makes product shots look cleaner and more premium, especially on glossy surfaces.

Marketing and Social Content

HDR-ready images pop on modern displays and help your visuals stand out in feeds and ads.

UI and App Mockups

Sharpened highlights and richer color make mockups look more vivid in presentations and pitch decks.

Tips for Best Results

1. Start with a well-exposed photo - HDR can enhance detail, but it cannot fix a badly exposed image.
2. Use white point carefully - higher values create stronger highlights but can clip bright areas.
3. Keep saturation subtle - small boosts look natural and avoid color noise.
4. Preview before download - compare the original and HDR output side by side.
