JPEG XL was finalized 6-7 years after HEIF so I am not sure it is a good comparison. Especially seeing that JPEG XL was first finalized this and last year.

- jl6 4y agoI know, I’m just saying that HEIF is the next-gen incumbent to beat. A lot of comparisons are being done with WebP and AVIF and legacy JPEG, which aren’t the real competition.
- erk__ 4y agoYeah the comparisons that are made here are more for the Web market which HEIF have not entered at all which is why I guess it is not being included. Adobe have added JPEG XL for Camera raw so maybe there is a chance for JPEG XL to catch up in that area, but it is hard to say. And I agree that it could be interesting to see comparisons.
- JyrkiAlakuijala 4y agoHEIF is an abstract concept like 'binary'. Saying that image is stored in binary doesn't tell much, the same for HEIF. JPEG XL can be stored in a HEIF container. It wouldn't help with technical compatibility, and a container format containing everything under the sun is going to bring a lot of long-term support burden and attack surface with it. Also, it is going to bring chaos since no one supports the whole format but just some fraction of it.
