funnily enough I discussed with my mate Mistral Le Chat about JXL vs AVIF and was like, why use AVIF over JXL, and it was like JXL is better but AVIF has more support, but WebP has even more support than both of them and decent compression
So I ended up going with webp for my self hosted vibe coded image host
Basically I’m now just waiting for everyone to catch up so I can go to JXL over WebP
It’s more competitive at the high end, but this website has some comparisons of avif and jxl: https://svt-av1-psy.com/avif/
(this project was later incorporated into other encoders as tune=iq, and is now default)
That being said, I think the jxl bitstream does have a fair amount of potential that current encoders don’t exploit due to lack of manpower. I’ve been following development fairly closely over the past couple years on the jxl discord, I think all active jxl devs are there
