The specification was frozen "only" in December 2020. It is enough time for a lot of software to add support to it (Gimp, ImageMagick, Krita, FFMpeg, Adobe Camera Raw).
But it will take a long time before camera start using it. And since a lot of popular graphic software cannot export to JXL yet (photoshop, clip studio, lightroom, ...) most professional just can't use JXL (short of saving a lossless image and then converting it to JXL in another software).
And in general, since the format is pretty new, most people don't know about it.
That is why being able to use it for the biggest browser would have been huge for speeding its adoption.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoSoftware support for WebP was also a massive problem up until the last few weeks. Because Chrome forcibly converts image files to WebP, it made my Photoshop work a hassle.
- edflsafoiewq 3y agoWow, Photoshop only got WebP support two weeks ago. That's ridiculous.
- Flimm 3y agoChrome doesn't forcibly convert images to WebP.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoYes it does. https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-get-around-chromes-new-save-as-webp-image-format-issue/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-get-around-chromes-new-...
- sebzim4500 3y ago>Chrome forcibly converts image files to WebP What does this mean? Does chrome automatically convert images to webp when you click 'save as' on a jpeg image?
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoI’ve mainly had it on png, but yeah! When I open a png, mainly on Fandom sites, the URL will say its a “.png” extension yet will only attempt to download as a “.webp”.

- RobotToaster 3y agoSeems odd that ACR supports it and lightroom doesn't.
