We've been planning to move all our image storage (business SaaS) over to JPEG-XL internally, for a few reasons:
- Technically a compelling format.
- Parallel decoding.
- Progressive decoding (no need for 'placeholder images').
- Lossless better than PNG and lossy better than JPG.
- Better than AVIF in the 'high quality' end of the spectrum.
- Lossless recompression of JPEG into JXL.
- Fast enough for on-the-fly conversion to JPEG for backwards compatibility.
People from Facebook, Shopify, Adobe, Intel and other huge companies have also voiced their support and said it's on various internal roadmaps.
I hope this decision gets reverted. Seems like a huge mistake!
