JXL! JXL! JXL!
I have no problem with that on a good operating system (Linux), I even save some of my images as AVIF and it’s good.
Every time I try to use webp the file is bigger than in jpg, why do people try to push it for the web ? Is it maybe faster to render for browsers ?
What compression settings are you using for each? If you’re just accepting defaults it’s quite possible you’re comparing against a lossless webp, which is quite likely to be larger than jpeg at typical quality settings.
I just did a test with the test with the first png I found and tt looks like the default were lossless, hence why compression ratio were bad.
Here the webp in smaller than the jpeg and noticeably better. Maybe it would be different for different kinds of picture, with colours, more details and stuff, but here it is clear.For now I stand corrected, webp is better.
It may not be easy to see because the screenshot isn’t perfect, and lemmy compress it further, but the jpg clearly has some artifacts while the webp is slightly blurry.
JPG is lossy, WEBP is smaller than PNG, but is lossless. I think.
The irony is if I download this meme, it will be in webp format 😐
Only from the Lemmy image view, but the original is JPEG and you can download it too.
Today I learned something. Thanks!
Why would I want webpee
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Support JXL
Whenever I hear someone mention JPEG XL allI think of is JPEG 2000.
Or maybe just stop inventing new file formats for no fucking reason
There are good reasons for why both JPEG-XL and WebP exist though.
Web dev reasons and regular people reasons are not the same things
It’s not for no reason, JPG and PNG suck ass
JXL is my favourite squadron.
Its funny since i can just rename it to a jpeg alot of the time and it loads on irfanview.
I’ve got her book by my bed, such a good read :-)
Every image will always load in irfanview regardless of extension. You just need to make sure your file associations are correctly configured
I was just complaining to a friend that I think it’s fucking absurd that Messenger still doesn’t work with webp but I now have an ‘imagine’ button for making stupid ‘AI’ art.
Decoder skill issue. If ImageMagick or whatever other open-source software can read it, everyone else has no excuse.
(That said, if I could pick, I’d pick JPEG XL)
One of my smaller incentives for getting the family group chat off Messenger and onto Signal was to be able to share memes from Hexbear without converting them.
We used to be like this about PNGs once, it’ll pass.
Some sites still don’t support PNG lol. Usually it’s places where they specifically expect a photo, where they’ll hard code the validation to only check if it’s a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn’t work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn’t want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.
The only program I’ve seen that explicitly doesn’t support PNG is old Source games with custom spray images.
Yeah that’s true. I’m mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.
Even lemmy.world is in this bucket (not sure about other instances). See: https://lemmy.world/post/28304534
Hilariously, WebP often isn’t better than JPEG for compression efficiency
Why?
