How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload the photo that needs restoration. Even low-quality scans work — the AI is designed to handle hdr effect from degraded source material. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'apply an HDR effect to this photo, bring out detail in shadows and highlights.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Landscape with dark foreground apply HDR effect, bring out detail in the dark foreground while keeping the bright sky balanced
    Interior with bright windows create HDR look, balance the bright windows with the darker room interior
    Sunset or sunrise enhance with HDR, reveal cloud detail and foreground shadows in this sunset photo
    City at twilight apply HDR to this cityscape, balance building lights with the twilight sky
    4 more prompts
    Natural subtle HDR apply a subtle, natural HDR effect that reveals hidden detail without looking over-processed
    Professional quality result create HDR effect with professional quality, clean composition, and balanced lighting
    Rescuing a damaged family heirloom photo create HDR effect — this is an old family photo with sentimental value. Fix the damage while preserving the original character and era of the photograph
    Eye-catching creative version create HDR effect with vibrant colors and striking visual impact for social media
  3. Review the result

    Compare the restored version against the original using the slider. Check that damaged areas look natural, colors appear authentic to the era, and no AI artifacts were introduced.

Necklace on cluttered table given clean high-detail product look

A turquoise pendant necklace photographed on a busy kitchen table had its background removed and the subject isolated with high-detail rendering — clear chain links, natural stone texture, and a soft shadow. The isolated product image has the clean HDR-quality detail needed for jewelry listings.

Prompt: isolate this necklace from the cluttered background and render it with high detail — clear chain texture and stone detail on white

Quick answers

How specific should my prompt be to get a good AI HDR Photo Maker result on the first try?

One sentence is usually enough: 'apply an HDR effect to this photo, bring out detail in shadows and highlights.' If the first result is off, refine with details — color, position, lighting, or what to keep. Each pass takes 20-45 seconds and runs separately, so you can compare.
