Follow these steps
- Open PhotoFix and choose the photos you want to convert.
- Choose HDR to normal photo and select an appropriate output format.
- Review whether you need a still image or a supported SDR Live Photo export.
- Save the converted copies and check them in the destination where you plan to use them.
Why an HDR photo can look different elsewhere
An HDR photo can contain highlight information that a standard display or destination handles differently. A normal SDR copy maps that range for SDR viewing. Different screens still have different brightness and color settings, so compare on the same display before deciding whether a result is suitable.
Choose JPEG or PNG for the actual task
JPEG uses lossy compression and replaces transparency with white. PNG preserves transparency. PhotoFix also supports HEIC and device-compatible RAW input up to 60 megapixels. Choose according to the destination requirements rather than assuming that a file extension alone controls HDR appearance.
Live Photo motion has a separate choice
PhotoFix can retain Live Photo motion and sound for normal SDR exports, or export a still image. Its HDR export creates a still photo. Check which output you selected before sharing, especially when the motion is part of what you want to preserve.
Keep expectations and originals clear
Normal-to-HDR is a separate creative brightness effect. It cannot recover lost source detail. Your originals stay untouched. The first three successful photo conversions are free, with each photo in a batch counting separately; further conversions require Pro. Verify the current purchase terms on the App Store.
Common questions
Is this the same as converting an HDR video?
No. PhotoFix handles photos. Use VideoFix for the video workflow linked below.
Will all devices show identical brightness after conversion?
No. SDR output helps compatibility, but displays and viewing apps still affect appearance.
