Starting from v145 Chrome supports JXL.

There is also an extension for this: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jpeg-xl-viewer/bkhd...

Wonderful. Allow an "unmonitored" extension from a random stranger on the Internet have access to "all data for all websites" just to support an image format for which Mozilla should have long built in native support...

Security concerns are exactly the reason the format doesn't have native support yet. However: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/pull/1064

That's not the reason, but the excuse. The reason Firefox doesn't have jxl is that it is funded by Google, and someone at Google decided that it has to die.

Also the parent comment was about that you really shouldn't just let a random Russian guy run any javascript on any website you visit, that's stupid.

Also also, am I missing something, or Firefox extensions are broken, there is no way to limit an extension to websites (allow or disallow), or even just to check the source code of an extension?

The link I posted shows that Jpeg-XL will come to Firefox, and that that same Google is the one making that possible by writing a secure implementation.

So what, you think they were just lying when they said that they'll ship JXL when it has a Rust implementation? You think Mozilla devs were just bluffing when they were working directly with the JXL devs over the last year to make sure everything would work right?

No, I don't think they can withhold support if it's a no-brainer to support it. But they also tried everything they could to not support it.

Firefox Nightly v149 has added experimental support via Settings > Firefox Labs:

  Webpage Display
  Media: JPEG XL
  With this feature enabled, Nightly supports the JPEG XL (JXL) format. This is an enhanced image file format that supports lossless transition from traditional JPEG files. See bug 1539075 for more details.

I published some benchmarks recently:

https://op111.net/posts/2025/10/png-and-modern-formats-lossl...

I compare PNG and the four modern formats, AVIF, HEIF, WebP, JPEG XL, on tasks/images that PNG was designed for. (Not on photographs or lossy compression.)

tasty_freeze

16 days ago

It seems like the natural categories are (1) photographs of real things, (2) line art, (3) illustrator images, (4) text content (eg, from a scanned document).

Is there a reason you used only synthetic images, ie, nothing from group 1?

demetris

16 days ago

Hey, tasty_freeze!

The motivation behind the benchmarks was to understand what are the options today for optimizing the types of image we use PNG for, so I used the same set of images I had used previously in a comparison of PNG optimizers.

The reason the set does not have photographs: PNG is not good at photographs. It was not designed for that type of image.

Even so, the set could do with a bit more variety, so I want to add a few more images.

Would be nice to also see decompression speed and maybe a photo as a bonus round.

Yeah.

Numbers for decompression speed is one of the two things I want to add.

Max memory required during decompression is also important. Thanks for sharing this research.

One thing I like about JPEG-XL is that it supports all kinds of weird image formats.

For example, I used to work with depth data a lot, which is best expressed as monochrome 16-bit floating point images. Previously, TIFF was the only format that supported this. Many shops would instead save depth images as UINT16 .PNG files, where the raw pixel intensity maps to the camera distance in mm. The problem with this is that pixels more than 65.535 meters away aren't representable. (Hot take: I personally think this is one reason why nobody studies depth estimation for outdoor scenes.)

JPEG-XL supports more weird combinations here, e.g. storing greyscale float32 images (with alpha even! you can store sparse depth maps without needing a separate mask!)

It's like, uniquely suited to these sorts of 3D scene understanding challenges and I really hope people adopt the format for more scientific applications.

> One thing I like about JPEG-XL is that it supports all kinds of weird image formats.

And it is probably the reason why browser vendors disliked it. Lots of complexity, it means a big library, which is high maintenance with a big attack surface. By comparison, webp is "free" if you have webm, as webp is essentially a single frame video.

edflsafoiewq

16 days ago

AFAIK browsers do not reuse any VP8 codepath for WebP, they just use libwebp, which decodes lossy images in software. WebP has a non-VP8 lossless mode too. The concern about image format attack surface is also probably because of the recent exploit in libwebp.

somat

On the subject of tiff, why is it not used more? I mean, it is more or less really a container format right. Why are we not using it all over the place but with modern compression methods?

jasomill

16 days ago

It is used quite a bit.

As just one of innumerable examples, it's the basis for Adobe's DNG raw photo format and many proprietary raw formats used by camera manufacturers (Nikon NEF, Canon CRW and CR2, etc.).

Speaking as an outside observer, the ISO Base Media File Format seems to have more mindshare for newer applications, presumably on account of its broader scope and cleaner design.

JBorrow

There is also FITS, but that is mainly for astronomical applications (and is in general an insane and terrible format). But it supports tons of types!

Designers might also be hesitant to use an untested file format for print, too.

If there’s a large amount of paper that’s been purchased for a job, I definitely wouldn’t want to be the one who’s responsible for using JPEG XL and – for whatever reason – something going wrong.

Pixels are cheaper than paper or other physical media :)

They request formats that their equipment handles. They're not in the business of converting a user's file type from one to another. That would be inconsistent from what the user sent.

Their job is getting an image file into reality, not to be the absent owner of a big machine.

> That would be inconsistent from what the user sent.

If the machine accepts some type of normal image file, then they can losslessly convert other file formats to that type. There is nothing inconsistent about that.

diroussel

Who should accept responsibility when a conversion is not as expected?

There are very few ‘lossless” conversions possible if you consider the loss of a data or metadata could affect the result. So if printer did accept a file that needed to be converted, and then during printing and converting they found conversion could lead to unexpected results should they cancel the print run? There is just too much to go wrong in printing already without these extra problems.

The print industry has a long and storied history, and for whatever set of reasons, printers only accept very specific profiles of specific formats.

Dylan16807

12 days ago

> Who should accept responsibility when a conversion is not as expected?

Who does it already? The system already takes files that could have unexpected results.

It's likely that if they took some other reasonable file types while always pre-converting they could actually reduce the error rate.

Yup, Gnome Web loads it just fine! Man, it really is a great browser. I try to switch to it every 6 months, but then I remember that it doesn't support extensions at all. I could give up everything, but not 1Password. Nothing is worth copy/pasting credentials and losing passkeys entirely.

I'm seeing the image on zen which is a firefox fork but not on firefox itself :/

even with `image.jxl.enabled` I don't see it on firefox

capitainenemo

17 days ago

Checking the Firefox bugs on this, it seems they decided to replace the C++ libjxl with a rust version which is a WIP, to address security concerns with the implementation. All this started a few months ago.

Maybe the zen fork is a bit older and still using the C++ one?

capitainenemo

17 days ago

... update. after reading the comments in the rust migration security bug, I saw they mentioned "only building in nightly for now"

I grabbed the nightly firefox, flipped the jxl switch, and it does indeed render fine, so I guess the rust implementation is functioning, just not enabled in stable.

... also, I see no evidence that it was ever enabled in the stable builds, even for the C++ version, so I'm guessing Zen just turned it on. Which... is fine, but maybe not very cautious.

1. Zen Browser had remote debugging enabled by default and disabled the security prompt for it. Extreme incompetence or malice? https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927

2. Social trackers are selectively allowed, unsigned extensions are enabled by default, and Enhanced Tracking Protection isn't fully implemented.

There's just a theme of incompetence, trying to cover it up and just in general being clueless about security.

Support is not a boolean.

A proper test page should have HDR images, images testing if 10-bit gradients are posterised to 8-bit or displayed smoothly, etc...

iOS for example can show a JPEG XL image, but can't forward it in iMessage to someone else.

HDR support is an anti-feature. Nobody want a part of a website to suddenly be 10x as bright as pure white.

JPEG XL is also good, but why not use AVIF? It's widely supported by browsers, and rivals JPEG XL in being the best lossy image format.

Jake Archibald has an excellent post about progressive image rendering, including some metrics on JPEG XL compared to AVIF[0].

> "I was also surprised to see that, in Safari, JPEG XL takes 150% longer (as in 2.5x) to decode vs an equivalent AVIF. That's 17ms longer on my M4 Pro. Apple hardware tends to be high-end, but this could still be significant. This isn't related to progressive rendering; the decoder is just slow. There's some suggestion that the Apple implementation is running on a single core, so maybe there's room for improvement.

> JPEG XL support in Safari actually comes from the underlying OS rather than the browser. My guess is that Apple is considering using JPEG XL for iPhone photo storage rather than HEIC, and JPEG XL's inclusion in the browser is a bit of an afterthought. I'm just guessing though.

> The implementation that was in Chromium behind a flag did support progressive rendering to some degree, but it didn't render anything until ~60 kB (39% of the file). The rendering is similar to the initial JPEG rendering above, but takes much more image data to get there. This is a weakness in the decoder rather than the format itself. I'll dive into what JPEG XL is capable of shortly.

> I also tested the performance of the old behind-a-flag Chromium JPEG XL decoder, and it's over 500% slower (6x) to decode than AVIF. The old behind-a-flag Firefox JPEG XL decoder is about as slow as the Safari decoder. It's not fair to judge the performance of experimental unreleased things, but I was kinda hoping one of these would suggest that the Safari implementation was an outlier.

> I thought that "fast decoding" was one of the selling points of JPEG XL over AVIF, but now I'm not so sure.

> We have a Rust implementation of JPEG XL underway in Firefox, but performance needs to get a lot better before we can land it."

Strange, as Cloudinary's test had the opposite conclusion -- jpegxl was significantly faster to decode than avif. Did the decoders change rapidly in a year, or was it a switch to new ones (the rust reimplementation)?

https://cloudinary.com/blog/jpeg-xl-and-the-pareto-front

If decode speed is an issue, it's notable that avif varied a lot depending on encode settings in their test:

> Interestingly, the decode speed of AVIF depends on how the image was encoded: it is faster when using the faster-but-slightly-worse multi-tile encoding, slower when using the default single-tile encoding.

michaelt

Taking advantage of hardware decoding is generally like pulling teeth.

For video you can't avoid it, as people expect several hours of laptop battery life while playing video. But for static images - I'd avoid the pain.

F3nd0

17 days ago

Because JPEG XL is the first format to actually bring significant improvements across the board. In some aspects AVIF comes close, in others it falls far behind, and in some it can’t even compete. There’s just nothing else like JPEG XL and I think it deserves to be supported everywhere as a truly universal image codec.

WPE can be built for Android, but it’s not a user facing browser.

cubefox

According to CanIUse, no browser implementation currently supports progressive decoding [1]. This is unfortunate, since progressive decoding theoretically is a major advantage of JPEG XL over AVIF, which doesn't allow it in principle, even though ordinary JPEG allows it. But apparently even a default (non-progressive) JPEG XL allows some limited form of progressive decoding [2]. It's unclear whether browsers support it though.

There was a constraint - since 2009, the Joint Photographic Experts Group had published JPEG XR, JPEG XT and JPEG XS, and they were probably reluctant to break that naming scheme.

What makes jpeg compression bad isn’t low bandwidth. It’s really good at compressing an image for that.

What makes jpeg bad is that the compression artifacts multiply when a jpeg gets screen captured and then re-encoded as a jpeg, or automatically resized and recompressed by a social media platform. And that definitely isn’t a problem that has gone away since dialup, people do that more than ever.

flexagoon

I'm not saying it's true, I obviously understand that not all jpegs are low quality and over compressed. That's just how the word is generally used by people, especially those outside of tech who aren't well versed in different image formats.

It seems to me this point of discussion always tends to get way too much focus. Should it really raise concern?

Of all the people who interact with image formats in some way, how many do even know what an image format is? How many even notice they’ve got different names? How many even give them any consideration? And out of those, how many are immediately going to think JPEG XL must be big, heavy and inefficient? And out of those, how many are going to stop there without considering that maybe the new image format could actually be pretty good? Sure, there might be some, but I really don’t think it’s a fraction of a significant size.

Moreover, how many people in said fraction are going to remember the name (and thus perhaps the format) far more easily by remembering it’s got such a stupid name?

JPEG XL is basically 4 codecs in one...

* A lossless image codec (lossless modular mode)

* An alternative lossy image codec with different kinds of compression artifacts than those typically seen in JPEG (lossy modular mode)

* JPEG packer

Because it includes a JPEG packer, you can use it as such.

I regularly work with images larger than 65,535px per side.

WEBP can only do 16,383px per side and the AVIF spec can technically do 65,535, but encoders tap out far before then. Even TIFF uses 32-bit file offsets so can't go above 4GB without custom extensions.

Guess which format, true to its name, happens to support 1,073,741,823px per side? :-)

Honestly, that's exactly what it sounds like to me too. I know it's not, but it's still what it sounds like. And it's just way too many letters total. When we have "giff" and "ping" as one-syllable names, "jay-peg-ex-ell" is unfortunate.

That’s an interesting speculation, but I’m inclined to believe their official reasoning. (That being they just didn’t really care about the format and/or went with whatever Chrome said at first. A year or so later they changed their mind and said they wanted an implementation in a memory-safe language, which prompted the JXL team to work on it.)
