HDR-Merge
What it is
HDR-Merge is a browser-based platform for AI HDR enhancement and 360-degree panorama stitching. It detects exposure sets, merges bracketed photographs, and applies tone mapping automatically. Each HDR image can use three to nine bracketed exposures, and RAW and JPEG files are supported. Optional AI processing adjusts color, contrast, and detail. The service can stitch HDR images into 360-degree panoramas in the cloud and process batches containing hundreds of sets, with batches described as supporting 1,000 or more images. It requires no installation or GPU and works on any device with a browser. Outputs include 4K or 2K images with AI enhancement. Monthly plans start at $27 a month, billed monthly, and there is no free plan, though a free trial is offered. Starter includes 150 credits monthly, while Pro and Agency add larger allocations, bulk processing, and higher support levels.
