I still find JPEG "XL" to be such a bizarre name. I would intuitively think it would result in larger file sizes.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoAlthough it might seem confusing at first glance, having your selling point as "our file sizes are larger!" is so counterintuitive, that I think it's obviously not that!
- hootz 2y agoSometimes it can be like "our file sizes are larger, but look at this big list of cool features".
- Iulioh 2y agoBigger is better, it is known.
- 1000100_1000101 2y agoLets just call it JPEG 40 to avoid any confusion.
- bmicraft 2y agoThe XL probably relates to the fact that the relative savings increase with higher res pictures. Whereas original jpeg's file size might have scaled linearly, jxl could do better than that.
- illiac786 2y agoEven weirder, L stands for legacy.
- amy-petrik-214 2y agoJPEG XL is a great name from a marketing perspective. The Apple roadmap has several successor compressors with AI elements in the planning sheet - JPEG XL PLUS, JPEG XL MAX. These formats will have small nominal yearly licensing fees to use. Finally, the most advanced format will be JPEG XXXL which they are developing in collaboration with pornhub.
