I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.
Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit
And here comes jpegXL claiming the same things. Fun times.
JPEG XL came after WebP. It’s more of a successor and less of a competitor.
That said, in the world of standards, a successor is still a competitor.
Okay, but jpeg xl is looking pretty good. Especially the ability to losslessly convert jpg to jxl.
Recent conversation on lemmy.world and an article about it.

Jpegxl will die because it has a bad name, that’s it
We usually call it JXL for short.
I’ll take it, hopefully jxl becomes the primary way it’s referred to 😁
