Brilliante Capture

Screenshots that keep your HDR

Your game runs in HDR. Your screenshots don't. Other capture tools use the SDR pipeline, so on an HDR display the brightest, best parts of the frame clip to flat white. The neon sign blows out. The sunset goes gray. The muzzle flash turns into a white blob.

Brilliante Capture grabs the frame in true High Dynamic Range and writes it to modern HDR formats that preserves every stop of brightness. What looked luminous on your screen looks luminous in the file.

Right: Brilliante Capture — If your display is in HDR mode, the right-hand image is a real HDR screenshot, rendering in HDR right here on this page.

Built for HDR gameplay

• Preserves HDR — the whole point. Highlights stay bright instead of clipping to white. No other mainstream capture tool does this.

• Multiple HDR formats. Save screenshots in formats including Ultra HDR JPEG — real HDR on supported viewers, backward compatible as a normal JPEG everywhere else.

• Capture anything. A region, a single window, or the full screen — across multiple monitors.

• WYSIWYG. What's on screen at the instant you trigger is exactly what's saved — no reprocessing, no surprises.

• Global hotkey — or your Xbox gamepad. One keypress to capture, or a controller shortcut so you never leave the couch; the app waits out of the way in the system tray.

• Delay timer. Capture menus, hover states, and mid-animation moments.

• Save to a folder, or copy to the clipboard. The saved file carries the full HDR — drag it into Instagram to share HDR that actually displays. Clipboard paste is quick, but standard-range only, so reach for the file when HDR matters.

The HDR screenshot you can actually share

Capture an HDR moment with Xbox Game Bar and you get a .jxr file — it opens on Windows and nowhere else. Not on your phone, not in a browser, not on a Mac. Your best HDR shot, stranded on one PC.

Brilliante saves in multiple HDR formats including:

• Ultra HDR JPEG — a fully backward-compatible HDR format: to any app that doesn't know about HDR, it's simply a normal JPEG. Post it to Instagram, drop it in a browser, send it to a friend on any device: it shows real HDR where that's supported (Instagram, Facebook, Google Photos, Apple Photos, and more) and a correct standard photo everywhere else. One file, no conversion, nothing broken.

• PQ-HDR PNG - a lossless HDR format for when SDR backward-compatibility comes second.  It offers increased HDR compatibility, including services such as Discord. And it's still HDR in Instagram, Facebook, Google Photos, and Apple Photos.

  

Motion-photo screenshots

Capture a moment of video, embedded in your JPEG screenshots.   Sometimes in the middle of the action, you don't have time to consider whether you want a screenshot or video.  Now you can get both with one click.

Compatible with Google Photos and Microsoft Photos.

VR screenshots that keep their depth

Running a SteamVR title? Brilliante's SteamVR screenshot mode grabs both eyes and saves a true stereoscopic image — depth intact, not a flattened single view. One capture writes two spatial formats:

• Spatial HEIC for Apple Vision Pro. Store your spatial screenshots in Apple Photos to view on the Apple Vision Pro.

• VR180 stereo for Google Cardboard. Ready to view panoramically in Google Photos or any VR180 viewer.

HDR output requires an HDR-capable display in HDR mode. On SDR displays, Brilliante saves a standard-range image. Spatial output requires a running SteamVR title. Spatial output is SDR and limited to 100° perspective. HEIC output requires a GPU that supports HEVC encoding, or the HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store — that extension is bundled free with some PCs, but some might require purchase from Microsoft. Motion photos require a GPU with hardware HEVC encoding.

Features and system requirements are subject to change. Individual features may be added, changed, or removed in future updates for technical or business reasons.
