Convert SDR to true HDR10 and Dolby Vision with AI Inverse Tone Mapping — all in one automated workflow.
True HDR from SDR footage
Unlike fake-HDR filters that just push contrast, VanceAI analyzes each frame's local luminance and reconstructs the dynamic range that SDR discards. The result is genuine 10-bit HDR, not a boosted filter.
SDR footage • home videos • game captures • streaming content
Recover lost luminance data
Standard SDR is locked at ~100 nits peak brightness and 8-bit color. Our AI reconstructs missing highlight and shadow detail, expanding dynamic range up to 1,000 nits with artifact-free output.
YouTube uploads • iPhone clips • ad campaigns • vintage films
Cinema-grade color volume
Remap pixels from Rec.709 into DCI-P3 and Rec.2020 wide-gamut color spaces. Every frame gains richer saturation, more accurate skin tones, and striking color depth on HDR displays.
Social media • professional edits • drone footage • archival tapes
The world's top SDR to HDR model.
Precision-built for filmmakers and creators
who agonize over every frame
AI Inverse Tone Mapping
Trained on massive SDR-to-HDR paired datasets, our Deep Neural Networks perform true ITM on every frame, reconstructing the luminance data SDR discards and remapping pixels into 10-bit HDR.
HDR10 with wide gamut
Outputs true cinema-grade HDR10 at up to 1,000 nits peak brightness. Choose between DCI-P3 for cinema and gaming, or Rec.2020 for UHD broadcast and professional mastering, both delivering wider color than standard Rec.709 SDR.
Wide color gamut
Expand beyond narrow Rec.709 into DCI-P3 and Rec.2020 color spaces, delivering up to 75% wider color coverage for displays that demand accuracy.
Fast & automated
No manual color grading, no LUTs, no sliders. Upload your SDR video and the AI handles scene detection, tone mapping, and color expansion in one automated pass.
FAQs
VanceAI is a real AI SDR to HDR converter. It uses AI Inverse Tone Mapping to analyze each frame, reconstruct missing luminance, expand dynamic range from ~100 nits SDR to up to 1,000 nits HDR, and re-encode as true 10-bit HDR10 or Dolby Vision, not a fake contrast boost.
VanceAI outputs both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. HDR10 offers 10-bit color and up to 1,000 nits peak brightness for universal compatibility. Dolby Vision provides up to 12-bit color with scene-by-scene dynamic metadata for a premium cinema-like experience.
Inverse Tone Mapping is the AI process that re-projects an SDR signal into HDR by analyzing each pixel's local luminance and reconstructing the dynamic range that SDR encoding discards. Unlike contrast boosts, ITM creates authentic HDR that looks native rather than filtered.
Yes. VanceAI supports automated Dolby Vision output with dynamic metadata that optimizes brightness and contrast on a scene-by-scene basis, delivering a premium HDR experience on compatible displays.
We accept MP4 and MOV files up to 10GB. The AI SDR to HDR converter supports a wide range of input resolutions and outputs true HDR10 or Dolby Vision video in up to 4K resolution.
