My camera shoots raw images and I have always saved them as JPEG files. Currently I have about 7Gb of photos in JPEG format. Recently I've found there's a newer image format called JXL that seems to have many good features and better quality at same (or smaller) file sizes than JPEG. It's also backward-compatible with JPEG and even has a lossless mode, etc. Do you think current year would be a good time to start developing my raw pics in JXL instead of JPEG?

>>108816717Sure if you don't want anyone, including yourself, to be able to open your photos on anything.7GB is literally nothing.
>>108816747not my heckin generatiorinos!
both xbox game bar and nvidia app save hdr screenshots in jxr format so I assume thats the best
>>108816747>FLIF> Jon Sneyers, one of the developers of FLIF, since combined it with ideas from various lossy compression formats to create a successor called the Free Universal Image Format (FUIF), which itself was combined with Google's PIK format to create JPEG XL.
JPEG XL is actually seeing a lot of recent support and has more or less passed the final hurdles before we see widespread support. It's been re-added to Chrome in feb 2026, it's currently in preview builds for Firefox slated for public builds in June, Safari added support back in like 2023. The PDF Association finalized JPEG XL as the format for HDR image in PDFs in 2025.
