Can a web page make one thing brighter than white?
On a compatible HDR display, the right mark requests luminance above CSS reference white.
Experiment
Extended-range WebGPU unavailable. Target stays SDR.
Each stop doubles linear light. OS and display cap the result.
LinkedIn export
Turn a logo into a Rec.2020 PQ JPEG for LinkedIn. White areas can render above reference white on Apple EDR screens. Nothing leaves your browser.
Upload notes
- Upload from desktop Chrome or Safari, not the iOS photo picker.
- Do not crop or filter inside LinkedIn after upload.
- Works best on company pages; personal profiles may recompress.
- Preview here is SDR. Check the glow on an iPhone or XDR Mac.
How
CSS white is SDR reference. A 16-bit float WebGPU canvas with
toneMapping: { mode: "extended" } can emit values above
1.0.
Browsers report HDR availability, not nits. Outcome depends on display, headroom, and settings.
