About SDR Ready: HDR Video Converter
Your iPhone videos look stunning on your phone - and washed-out gray on Windows, Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram and older TVs. That's because iPhone records HDR video, and most screens and apps outside Apple's world don't understand it. SDR Ready fixes it in one tap. And since 2.0, it fixes washed-out HDR photos too. Pick your videos and photos, see the before/after proof, convert. Converted copies are saved to Photos right next to the originals - originals never touched. WHERE YOUR VIDEOS LOOK RIGHT AGAIN • Windows and PC - Media Player, Explorer, PowerPoint • Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Teams, Zoom • Instagram, Facebook, TikTok uploads • Older TVs, projectors, smart TVs, car screens WHY SDR READY • One button. No color-science quiz, no seven presets. • Split-screen proof - see exactly what others see, before you convert. • Batch convert. Queue as many clips and photos as you like. • Works with everything iPhone shoots: Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10, 4K, 60 fps. • HDR photos (HEIC) become JPEGs that open everywhere. • Output sizes that fit Discord (10 MB) and email (25 MB) limits. • Already-SDR clips are detected and skipped - no pointless conversions. • Keeps converting when you leave the app (iOS 26). • Shortcuts action - convert from the share sheet or automate it. • Native on iPad. In English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese. • 100% on-device. No account, no upload, no internet needed. • No subscription. Pay once, keep it forever. WHO IT'S FOR • Gamers and streamers sharing clips to Discord • Families sending videos to relatives on Windows • Creators handing footage to an editor on a PC • Teachers and presenters showing videos on a projector WHAT IT DOES, HONESTLY SDR Ready converts HDR video to standard MP4 (H.264 / Rec.709) using Apple's own video engine - the same tone mapping Photos uses when it shows HDR footage on an SDR screen. Your converted copy looks right on every screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zero network requests. No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Your videos never leave your phone. Questions?

What’s new
Version 2.0.3 · Updated October 27, 2026
When nothing in a batch could be converted, the Done screen now says so and shows why. The low storage warning now appears right away, also when you convert from the preview. Picking the same clip twice in one go adds it only once. The progress bar no longer jumps backwards during a batch. Small fixes in Settings.
