FAQ

What exactly do I get back?

A 10-bit H.265 HDR10 MP4. It carries BT.2020 primaries and the SMPTE ST 2084 PQ transfer curve, which is what makes a file HDR10 rather than an SDR file with a bright look. Resolution and frame rate come back exactly as you uploaded them.

Does conversion change resolution or frame rate?

No. A 1080p30 clip returns as 1080p30 and a 4K60 clip as 4K60. The engine remaps luminance and colour only. Nothing is upscaled, interpolated, cropped or re-timed, so the result drops into an existing timeline without conforming.

Does it upscale or sharpen?

No. This does one operation: SDR to HDR10. It is not an upscaler, a denoiser, a frame interpolator or a general enhancement suite. If you need those, they are separate jobs and separate tools, and running them before conversion usually works better than after.

Is there a watermark?

No, ever. There is no free tier and no trial output to protect, so there is nothing to watermark. What you download is the deliverable.

What can conversion actually recover?

Range that was compressed, not range that was clipped. Highlights squeezed against SDR's diffuse-white ceiling get room to separate. A window already blown out to flat white in the source has no detail to restore, and no process recovers what the sensor never recorded.

What file types and limits apply?

MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 60 seconds and 500 MB. Longer clips are not supported yet, so trim to the section that matters before uploading. The 60-second limit covers most short-form, highlight and product footage without cutting.
