> WebP also isn't even comparable to JPEG XL: it's the "old next-gen" image format – it's between WebP and AVIF. This is a nonsense statement of opinion. AVIF is severely more computationally expensive than JPEG XL (over 100 times worse at high bitrates), limited to 4k resolution, has worse compression, and is missing desirable features like progressive decoding and lossless recompression. > There is just no incentive for Google to push for WebP: they have nothing to gain by it. They have complete control over the standard. No one else can make changes to it without their approval. JPEG XL is governed by ISO.
