Both vastly superior to old JPEG and WEBM, both with pisspoor support on phones and the internet. Smash cut to Conversations freaking out because it has no idea what “.jxl” means. FOSS community pls fix.

2kliksphilip comparing JPEGXL and AVIF on youtube
The fact that people know so little about them underlines their dire state. Btw. If u even care.
I’m not exactly one who keeps up to date with new file extension information, so I have no idea but what makes them vastly superior? Compression? Data use? Visual quality?
Is it a case of the xkcd joke about creating a new standard? Is this just a case of wanting to use new and hot when old and busted works just fine?
JPEG-XL is superior to jpeg in every way. It has a cool feature where it can do a partial decompression where it will initially load an image a low res and progressively load the remaining data.
I think webp became the newer de facto standard because of Chrome’s (Google) browser dominance.
Why can’t webp and jxl/avif coexist… jpeg and png coexisted…
Capitalist infighting.
That’s makes sense. If Google has their hands in it, their finger is on the scale.
All of the above. See jpegxl.info, but they’ll output vastly superior image quality at the same size as old jpeg or way smaller files at the same quality. They also feature cool progressive loading for internet purposes. JPEG is from 1992.
I have no fuckin idea why adoption of these is so poor. AVIF is from 2018 and JXL is from 2021, so it’s galling to still be staring down vanilla jpegs and fuckin webp’s…
