JPEG XL file format

Any sane website would provide a JPEG or WebP fallback, so that shouldn’t happen. The Rust-based decoder is still very new, so rolling it out like this makes sense, since there may still be bugs.

And so far only Safari has full support, so it wouldn’t make sense to only use JXL on a website.

It’s good to see a step in (what I believe) is the right direction. If memory serves, that’s now Safari, Chromium, Firefox, and Thorium all supportung JPEG XL in some shape or form.

With JPEG-XL’s libjxl 0.12 release, progressive lossless images are 30~40% smaller than before while with new multi-threaded handling there is a 2-5x performance improvement in encoding performance. Lossless images in general are decoding faster too and 30~80% smaller.

Those are some significant improvements.

I looked at the PRs but don’t understand where that is coming from, if anyone knows please share, I am curious.

I can’t single out a single commit which explicitly mentions that in the comments.

I think it is

but currently I have no time to invest understanding it.

Yes, I skimmed through the 56 commits of that PR, out of curiosity.
