You should never transcode lossy source files because there is generation loss in quality. There is still a lot of reason for Apple to switch from HEIC to JXL

There is still a lot of reason for Apple to switch from HEIC to JXL for photos going forward since HEIC is patent encumbered so it will never see widespread use.
- dimatura 1mo agoWell, JpegXL does have one really cool feature: you can transcode jpeg to jpegxl (and back) losslessly. For jpeg to jpegxl it'll save something like 15-20% in size.
- Gigachad 1mo agoThis is probably going to be a key feature for web platforms. They can convert their massive backlogs to jxl for free space savings.
