JPEG-XL is a fantastic format but it has a big marketing/naming problem. I think the the lack of popularity/adoption is in big parts due to the confusing name.

- ElectricalUnion 3y agoIt sucks that there are several other combinations of 2 letters suffixes that are also taken: JPEG XR (Windows Media Photo, hdr), JPEG XS (a "realtime" one) and JPEG XT (a "very backwards compatible" one). So besides XL I'm never sure what the hell I'm dealing with.
- ksec 3y agoUnfortunately the authors don't think that is the case. I pointed this out in 2019 / 2020 already.
- pmarreck 3y agoI've never been confused about it, not sure what the issue is. There's JPEG, and there's JPEG XL. Perhaps they should have called it JPEG 2.0.
