I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.
And here comes jpegXL claiming the same things. Fun times.

JPEG XL came after WebP. It’s more of a successor and less of a competitor.
That said, in the world of standards, a successor is still a competitor.
Okay, but jpeg xl is looking pretty good. Especially the ability to losslessly convert jpg to jxl.
Recent conversation on lemmy.world and an article about it.
Jpegxl will die because it has a bad name, that’s it
We usually call it JXL for short.
I’ll take it, hopefully jxl becomes the primary way it’s referred to 😁

Lol sooo cool, just like my XL boxer briefs and my XL diet coke. Also wtf jpegxl is great at making things smaller
Confusingly, XL doesn’t stand for “eXtra Large”. JPEG has had multiple standards over the years, many of which start with X. In this context, the L in XL means Long-term. As in, they expect this format to last a long time like the original JPEG we all know and “love” has.

That’s makes sense, I can’t shake the extra large connotations on XL :P
