Folks who want to see JPEG-XL supported in more browsers, what is it about the format that attracts you to its use on the web compared to currently supported formats?

@jaffathecake

  • Perfectly reversible, lossless conversion from JPEG with ~20% savings.
  • ~60% smaller file sizes than JPEG at the same quality when using lossy compression.
  • Negligible compression artefacts when using lossy compression.
  • Great colour gamut support, including HDR, and support for other channels. ‪- Super fast encoding and decoding.
  • Support for progressive decoding.
  • Tiny file header at a mere 12 bytes.
  • Everything WebP and AVIF boasts, including transparency, animations, and such.
  • Resilient against generational loss.
@vale if you were to pick one or two things that make it worth having vs AVIF, what would those be?

@jaffathecake Really hard to pick!

The lossless conversion from JPEG is huge, as it more or less makes it a better JPEG. Progressive decoding is also fantastic.
