Yes. It loads faster, it has integrated quality levels that increase while loading (so a web hoster doesn’t need to have 5 different copies of the same image at different qualities), it has better compression and it also supports more features. It can also be lossless. Most importantly, jpeg can be converted to jpeg xl losslessly, and it will have the benefits of jpeg xl.

And even can support RAW data. This will be such a huge benefit to still photographers. Multichannel data also allows scientists and astronomers to have access to a lot more data in an image file (plus alpha for transparency), even animation. Really is next level.

That’s so cool, the integrated quality levels

fyi you have toggled the setting that marks you as a bot account, as such your content will not show for some percent of people that have bots hidden

Oh what? How is that even done? I’m using thunder iOS client. Will try to find the setting there…

Neither is as good as jpegXP

Give up already and install jpegVista.

That’s one good news.

the webp will continue until moral improves

What’s wrong with webp, exactly, besides maybe some systems still not supporting a decades old format?

JXL rules. webp drools.

this is what happens when corpos take over your standards and compliance boards.

So we made lossy the norm, but - let me blow your mind - what if we make lossy BIGGER?
colonelp4nic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
JpegXL offers lossless compression, too

You win this time, bigger thing!

Google probably realizes literally nobody likes WEBP and avoids using it
tekato@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This is being done because PDF is adopting JPEG XL, so Chromium must support it since it doubles as a PDF reader.

have not hear anything bad about webp, whats up with that

Mainly a compatibility thing afaik. For web stuff it's actually pretty great but people don't like not being able to download it in a format that works with image viewers and editing apps
Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It is apparently good at making animated media however its format is incompatible with many software media viewers.
It’s the bane of my existence when trying to save an image, but I am also exploring its uses in making animated backgrounds for graphical chat interfaces.

Nothing, most software has supported webp for 15 years, the last few stragglers have caught up two years ago or so, people on the internet are just very incapable of letting go of an opinion.
Glitchvid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
At this point if you’re going to use WebP you may as well just use AVIF instead, better compression ratio and the support matrix isn’t that different between them.

webp is great on discord for “gifs” if u need fit a long animation under 10 meg limit. And you can make it with ffmpeg

webp hate is one thing I never understood, especially on lemmy. it has worked flawlessly for me, if you use dogshit image viewers thats on you.

Its more about it being a non-open standard that was unilaterally implemented by Google, and then just expected to immediately become the default because daddy Google said so.

Webp is actually good format AFAIK better than the traditional alternatives it’s just that it doesn’t have such wide support and jpeg-xl is superior in many things.
