SoVeryBright - Make your logo brighter than white on HDR screens
Show HN: Make your logo extra bright on HDR screens
SoVeryBright is a free web tool that lets you upload a logo and create an HDR JPEG with glowing highlights, making chosen colors shine up to 7.5× brighter than pure white on HDR displays. It uses ISO 21496-1 gain maps for web and BT.2100 PQ for LinkedIn, while remaining a perfectly normal JPEG on other screens. The tool automatically selects light elements for best effect, and also demonstrates how to achieve brighter-than-white text using CSS background-clip. No files are stored, and it works in Chrome 137+, Safari 26, and iOS 26.
On HDR screens the chosen parts shine up to 7.5× brighter than #FFFFFF. Everywhere else it's a perfectly normal JPEG.

I do not in fact want sites trying to get around my display preferences to post their visual presence on screen.

I’ve noticed this trend on LinkedIn just recently. Very noticeable at night, obviously, when my screen is naturally more dim. But these logos are like blinding headlights.
