8-bit footage throws away detail in the brightest and darkest parts of every frame. SwitchHDR brings it back — highlight detail reconstructed, shadow noise suppressed — without touching the performance.
Want to see the real thing with your own eyes? This is a true HDR upload — the SDR source and the recovery side by side. You need an HDR-capable display and browser; anywhere else it plays as an SDR preview.

{ ONLY ON BEEBLE }
Every other tool guesses. Beeble lets you direct the recovery — by region, and by intent. No one else gives you this.
Set a threshold with a slider — this much is shadow, this much is highlight. Outside the mask, Beeble stays faithful to your original, pixel for pixel. Inside, it reconstructs the lost detail with more latitude. You draw the line between preserve and rebuild.
Tell SwitchHDR what belongs in the recovered region — sunset, blue sky, ocean. The detail comes back the way your shot intended, not the way a model guessed.
RECOVERED REGION{ OUTPUTS }
You don't just get an EXR you can't open without DaVinci. You get everything you need to finish — and to see it now.
EXR
Real HDR in the professional container your pipeline already runs on. Drop it straight into Nuke, Resolve, or Flame.
MOV
Plug in an HDR display and watch it immediately. See the recovery the moment it finishes.
MP4
The recovery isn't baked in. Separate shadow and highlight mattes let you push it further — in the grade, in the comp, anywhere.

{ THE MODEL BEHIND IT }
Our own model, developed in-house and trained on real HDR footage —
not an API wrapper, not a filter.
The recovery is grounded in how light actually behaves.
Bring in an 8-bit clip and get back true 16-bit HDR — highlights rebuilt, shadows cleaned, every region under your control.
