JPEG XL JPEG XL: The technology of the future that is reshaping the world of digital images Higher compression ratio High dynamic range (HDR) support Lossless encryption Backward compatibility How will JPEG XL change the user experience? Smaller images Better image quality Faster loading Lower power consumption More accurate color support Reduced “noise” Advanced features Why is JPEG XL important for the future? Improving the web experience Being green Supporting new technologies JPEG XL addresses weaknesses of JPEG Low compression efficiency Limited color depth No HDR support New color space tailored to the human eye: no transparency support No animation support Unwanted effects How do Apple and Cloudinary make JPEG XL easier to use?

Apple and Cloudinary recognize the importance of JPEG XL as a future for digital images, and are working to make it easier to use on various platforms. Apple: With the launch of iPhone 16, Apple has made it possible for its users to take advantage of JPEG XL to capture and store images with superior quality and improved efficiency. JPEG XL images are embedded within a DNG container, allowing ProRAW files to maintain their flexibility while significantly reducing their size, up to five times smaller.

This means professional-quality images with convenient file sizes for storing and sharing. Cloudinary: As a major contributor to the development of JPEG XL, Cloudinary is providing early support for this new standard. Cloudinary users can easily convert images to JPEG XL by adding f_jxl to the image URL or changing its extension to .jxl.

This option is ideal for those targeting iOS or Safari visitors, as they can take advantage of JPEG XL support in these systems to deliver higher-quality images with improved efficiency. Because JPEG XL compression performance varies by image, Cloudinary is developing a new version of its AI-powered f_auto,q_auto feature, which will automatically select the best format to use for each individual image. This will help improve compression performance and provide the best possible experience for users.
