JXL is the rightful heir to the throne and none of these treasonous corporate usurpers in the court can convince me otherwise. I'll never bow to the Webp or Avif factions. While it looks bleak, I pray the crown finds its way to the head of the true king. Long live the Jpeg bloodline!

But really, webp was pushed because it supports DRM and avif is an implementation detail turned feature afterthought just because webp adoption sucked as much as the format does. I love AV1 for video but avif isn't fit for purpose and webp is garbo. I really wish they didn't take jpegxl out behind the shed for no good reason... It has some awesome engineering.

If it gives you any hope I’m pretty sure Apple uses jpegxl for their pro mode raw compressed format. Apparently they did that change with last year’s iPhone so there’s still hope.

AVIF is funny because they kept the worst aspects of WebP (lossy video based encoding), while removing the best (lossless mode) There was an attempt at WebP2, using AV1 and a proper lossless mode, but Google killed that off as well.

But hey, now that they're releasing AV2 soon, we'll eventually have an incompatible AVIF2 to deal with. Good thing they didn't support JPEG-XL, it'd just be too confusing to have to deal with multiple formats.
