Digital Backlink Boss format JPEG XL combines spatial and frequency attributes in an elegant way to achieve significant file size savings with negligible quality loss. It outperforms existing formats in the encoding phase and caters to a wide range of features, including alpha channels and animation. It’s the jack-of-all-trades format that can help enhance artists’ workflows, simplify developers’ tasks, and revolutionize web delivery.

One of the main advantages touted for JPEG XL is that it can deliver high-fidelity images, which means that images are encoded with enough precision to reproduce perceptually matched color (e.g., CMYK or spot colors). The XL codec uses an encoding color space inspired by human visual perception and a gamma of 3 for compute-efficient decoding. The resulting high-fidelity images are more accurate than other compression formats that do not use the same coding color space.

Another key advantage of the XL codec is that it can be used in a progressive coding mode. This can reduce encoding times, which in turn can improve web page loading speeds and improve user experience.

JPEG XL can also support the lossless compression mode, which makes it more suitable for capture and authoring purposes as it can preserve details with minimal quality degradation. For example, it can be used to compress camera raw files for printing. It can also be used in authoring workflows, with support for named layers, selection masks and multiple alpha channels, and it can even support a broader range of color formats like CMYK or a wider bit depth.
