Pretty good news! I imagine that it'll take a while before libjxl and jpegli won't both supply a cjpegli binary so that'll be mildly annoying at the start, but hopefully this way it'll be adopted quicker so it'll accept more input formats and image software will switch over to jpegli native export instead of using the libjpeg compatible controls.

It's a really excellent software. Its default output quality is storage quality, while the file size is acceptable for mobile data and cloud storage of pictures in most countries. It producing progressive pictures by default still helps when quickly swiping through a whole album of vacation pictures stored on cloud storage, and its progressive output actually reduces size rather than add to it. And it's compatible with everything so now I just throw everything lossy I produce through its default settings until JXL becomes natively supported in Chrome and Windows.




Thank you for such a kind praise for Jpegli! This made my day.
