JPEG XL is technically brilliant and practically stranded — Chrome dropped native support in 2022 and tool adoption lags. JPEG opens everywhere. Convert JXL to JPEG to reach the 100% that JPEG covers.

Supports JXL
Supports JXL
Drop .jxl files — lossy, lossless, or JPEG-transcoded. The reference libjxl decoder handles all JXL variants.
JXL decodes to raw pixels in-browser. Those pixels encode as JPEG at quality 90. For losslessly-transcoded JPEG JXL, the original JPEG bitstream may be recoverable.
Standard JPEG output opens in every app since 1995. ICC profile embedded, EXIF metadata preserved from JXL source.

Note, JPEG is a lossy compression. In addition, you cannot create black and white images with JPEG nor can you save transparency. Requires jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz. You can set quality scaling for luminance and chrominance separately (e.g. -quality 90,70). You can optionally define the DCT method, for example to specify the float method, use -define jpeg:dct-method=float. By default we compute optimal Huffman coding tables. Specify -define jpeg:optimize-coding=false to use the default Huffman tables. Two other options include -define jpeg:block-smoothing and -define jpeg:fancy-upsampling. Set the sampling factor with -define jpeg:sampling-factor. You can size the image with jpeg:size, for example -define jpeg:size=128x128. To restrict the maximum file size, use jpeg:extent, for example -define jpeg:extent=400KB. To define one or more custom quantization tables, use -define jpeg:q-table=filename. These values are multiplied by -quality argument divided by 100.0. To avoid reading a particular associated image profile, use -define profile:skip=name (e.g. profile:skip=ICC).
