Privacy
Your data stays on your device
Extra Bright Images performs the HDR calculation directly in your browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. Your original photo is processed locally to create the preview and the final download, so your image is not uploaded to an image-processing server.
There is no backend that analyzes, stores, or transforms your picture for this effect. You choose the image, your device does the work, and the result stays in your hands from start to finish.
Support
Where are HDR images supported?
LinkedIn company images
Use Native HDR PNGThis is the one place on this page where the native export is the right file. It works well for company imagery that should look brighter without changing the platform workflow.
Do not use the Ultra HDR export here.
Instagram posts
Use Ultra HDR JPEGUpload the exported Ultra HDR image directly. Keep it as a plain post if you want the HDR effect to survive.
Text, stickers, and other in-app overlays can flatten the result back to SDR.
Threads posts
Use Ultra HDR JPEGThreads is also a good fit for the Ultra HDR export. The cleanest path is a direct image upload without extra edits.
Treat it like Instagram: in-app decorations can push the image back to SDR.
Facebook posts
Use Ultra HDR JPEGFacebook is best treated as a straightforward destination for the Ultra HDR export.
A direct upload is safer than doing extra edits after import.
Google Photos
Best for Ultra HDRA reliable place to check whether the Ultra HDR export is working on your account, browser, and display.
Google Photos explicitly supports the Ultra HDR image format.
Apple Photos
Good for review on Apple hardwareA practical place to inspect your results on supported Apple devices before you share them elsewhere.
The difference is easiest to spot on XDR-class iPhone, iPad, and Mac displays.
Devices
What do I need to see HDR images properly?
Keep it simple: use a recent HDR-capable device, a browser that really renders HDR images, and disable battery-saving features while testing.
Google Pixel phones
Very good test devices. Adobe currently lists Pixel 7, 8, and 9 families plus Pixel Fold for mobile HDR workflows.
Samsung Galaxy flagships
Also strong, but more app-dependent. Recent S24 and S25 devices, FE models, and newer Fold and Flip devices are on Adobe's HDR-compatible list.
iPhone
Very good on OLED models. iPhone X, XS, XS Max, and iPhone 11 Pro and later have Apple's HDR-capable Super Retina displays. Skip the SE line.
iPad
All iPad Pro models, all iPad Air models, iPad mini 2 and later, and iPad 5th generation and later are Retina-class. The best HDR headroom is on Liquid Retina XDR or Ultra Retina XDR iPad Pro models.
Mac and Apple Vision Pro
Good if the display is HDR-capable. Safari 26 added HDR image support on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, so current Apple platforms are much better targets now.
Windows PCs and external displays
Good when the setup is real HDR, not marketing HDR. Look for HDR10 support, enable HDR in Windows, and prefer certified displays with meaningful brightness headroom.
