Maybe my internet use is too limited given it’s been ages since I last saw a .tif, .bmp or anything like that online. Also I thought .svg was mostly for photoshop or the GNU image manipulation program… Nobody posts in these formats, right?

Mostly though I view AVIF vs JXL as a competition for “what should replace jpegs” which I don’t think any of the other mentioned formats can do.

suggests JXL has a 30% size saving on PNG, which is about the same as webp.

And JXL sure produces better visual results than webp in many cases… I don’t disagree that the lossless mode is slightly pointless tho, yes. Mostly I just think JXL could drop in and directly replace JPEG, it seems designed to, although it’s not an extension of the format, fwiw. Maybe JPEG is just good enough for most people and that’s that.

Nonetheless, I think your support and promulgation of JXL is super cool, and I do thoroughly respecc’ it.

Sometimes this autism shit kinda fucking sucks, I don’t know how to feel that I am now the unofficial spokesdork for The JPEG Consortium’s Brave JPEG-XL Initiative… I mean, thanks? I find it fun to read about the formats and related standards that make up every day files, (I fucking loved reading all about DVD) and it results in this, I guess.
