JXL is great on a variety of images with great PSNR across the board. Surprised it took browsers a good long time to ship it (removed and brought it back) You can get way better perceptual compression at much much tinier sizes though. This is where a lot of user studies and research could play out. If you've read that article out, you might want to take a look at alternative approaches to compressing images with similar principles. https://github.com/guilt/MLL https://github.com/guilt/MLL is a recent reimplementation of an old idea; If you quantize out the image blocks you could emit them in vector coordinates and have perceptually similar results at a fraction of the size with very decent signal preservation.
