Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare JPG Sources
- Avoid recompressing JPGs: use original high-quality exports to reduce quantization before HDR mapping
- Convert images exported in sRGB only after confirming that embedded ICC profiles exist and are readable
- If available, supply highest-resolution JPG to give tone-mapping more pixel data for highlight reconstruction
- Pre-apply artifact reduction to JPG to minimize blockiness that becomes more visible after dynamic range expansion
- Strip unrelated color-space tags only when you will reassign a known profile during HDR export to avoid color shifts
Target Encoding Choices
- Select 12-bit or 16-bit float when preserving smooth gradations is critical for post-processing
- Choose PQ/ST2084 transfer for display-targeted HDR exports to match HDR-capable monitors
- Use compressed HDR containers if storage is constrained but verify playback quality on target devices
- Prefer containers that support metadata if you need to later match exposure or color using EXIF
- When preparing files for editing, keep both HDR and a tone-mapped SDR JPG to maintain sharing compatibility
Verification & Workflow
- Open converted HDR in an HDR-capable editor to confirm tone-mapping and exposure scaling are intact
- Compare histograms between JPG source and HDR output to check for unwanted clipping or boost artifacts
- Preview on devices with and without HDR to ensure accessibility and provide SDR fallback images
- Validate critical color targets using software that reads embedded ICC profiles to detect mismatches
- Test a small batch first to confirm metadata handling before committing large archives to conversion
Sharing and Device Readiness
- Provide an SDR preview (tone-mapped JPG) alongside HDR files to ensure correct appearance on non-HDR devices
- Label HDR files with container and transfer function to help recipients choose compatible players
- Compress HDR archives for transfer but ask recipients to unpack into HDR-aware software before viewing
- For web delivery, include both an HDR asset and a fallback JPG optimized for sRGB browsers
- When privacy matters, perform conversion client-side and only upload packaged HDR outputs to trusted services
