What Headroom does

One local pipeline, eight jobs

01

Inspect

Understand what's inside an image — resolution, color space, and whether it's actually HDR or just tagged that way.

02

Create

Turn SDR images into HDR-ready images, without guessing at the numbers.

03

Preview

Compare SDR and HDR side by side before you commit to an export.

04

Analyze

See luminance and gamut coverage laid out clearly, not buried in a report.

05

Convert

Move between the formats your pipeline actually supports.

06

Optimize

Cut file size without losing the highlights you just added.

07

Validate

Check whether an HDR image is technically valid — not just whether it opens.

08

Learn

Understand HDR without needing to be an imaging engineer.

Tools

Six tools, one local pipeline

Under the hood

The before/after above is real output, not a mockup — a real photo run through our actual Superwhite pipeline, the same code the Encode tool runs when you pick that mode. Every processing step in Headroom runs in your browser, using the same math. Read the HDR guide →
