If your iPhone videos look washed out, pale, or oversaturated when you play them on a Windows PC, share them on social media, or view them on a non-HDR monitor, the problem is HDR. iPhones from the 12 series onward record in Dolby Vision HDR by default, and most screens cannot display it properly.
MiOffice converts HDR to SDR using Hable tone mapping directly in your browser. No upload, no signup. The tone-mapped video produces natural colors on any display.

When to Convert
