Practical guide to the <img> element: from the basics to LCP | Joan León

The <img> element has attributes that make a real difference in performance: loading, decoding, fetchpriority, srcset and sizes. A practical guide to using them well.

DebugBear: What is JPEG XL: do we really need another image format?. “In 2018, the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) issued a call for proposals for the ‘next-generation image compression’. Numerous proposals were submitted, but only two were selected to proceed, one by Cloudinary (FUIF) and one by Google (PIK). The two were eventually combined to create JPEG XL (often shortened to JXL), […]

Google *unkills* JPEG XL?

A quick summary of the format's road to stardom

🙄 Ah, the joys of JPEG XL—the image format that bravely tosses bit depth into the abyss of irrelevance. Who needs precision when you can have chaos? Meanwhile, poor #AVIF is stuck in a corner crying into its extra bits. 🤡

Why JPEG XL Ignoring Bit Depth Is Genius (And Why AVIF Can’t Pull It Off) | FX Insights

JPEG XL’s float-based, perceptual approach makes bit depth irrelevant – and how it outperforms AVIF in image quality, workflow simplicity, and future-proofing.

On the latest #ATPpodcast I heard @siracusa pronounce the HEIC image format as a word - "heek" [hiːk]. He is the first human I have heard pronounce it as a word. I feel like, for me, it will always be "H E I C".

There are several acronyms I treat this way, that I've heard others say as words, thinking about it.

PNG, SVG, BMP, IFF, SQL, URL, LED, GUI, PDF, PCMCIA (well...), etc.

I am old and set in my ways.

By the way, GIF is not on that list because I pronounce it as a word starting with a soft G, because that is how that is pronounced.

Ars Technica: Adult sites are stashing exploit code inside racy .svg files. “Dozens of porn sites are turning to a familiar source to generate likes on Facebook—malware that causes browsers to surreptitiously endorse the sites. This time, the sites are using a newer vehicle for sowing this malware—.svg image files.”
