This kind of approach works so well.

I was trying to upload HDR photos to Instagram and couldn't figure out how to make it preserve the HDR-ness of my photos, and was going back and forth with an agent - step by step we'd slowly iterate on a photo, I'd upload, then I'd download the jpg and give it to the agent and it'd think, change something in the format, and we'd try again.

I got impatient and just said fuck it and gave it chrome-devtools and a blank instagram account and a test photo, and it figured the whole thing out in about a half hour. I built a little browser-based tool from what it discovered, and I use it to run my HDR photos through to format them correctly for instagram and it works a treat.
