- Google reversed its decision to kill JPEG XL in Chromium, now planning to support it in Blink.
- JPEG XL offers superior features like lossless JPEG re-compression, wide gamut and HDR support, and large image size capabilities.
- Community and industry pressure, including support from Safari, Firefox, and the PDF Association, influenced Chromium's change of stance.
- JPEG XL supports up to 32 bits per channel, 4,099 channels, progressive decoding, animation, alpha transparency, and depth maps.
- Chromium's support is expected to make JPEG XL a de facto standard for images.
