JPEG XL and the Pareto Front
Version 0.10 of libjxl, the reference implementation for JPEG XL, has just been released. The main improvement this version brings, is that the so-called
In an authoring workflow, when you’re saving an image locally while still editing it, you typically don’t need strong compression and low-effort encoding makes sense. It is based on lessons learned from guetzli and libjxl, and offers a very attractive trade-off: it is very fast, compresses better than WebP and even high-speed AVIF, while still producing good old JPEG files that are supported everywhere. Moving on to the newer codecs, we can see that both AVIF and HEIC can obtain a better compression density than JPEG and WebP, at the cost of slower encoding.
