v0.11.2
BSD-3-Clause
JPEG XL image codec library and command-line tools for modern lossless and lossy still-image compression.
Why you might care
JPEG XL offers significantly better compression ratios and quality than JPEG/PNG while supporting both lossy and lossless modes, with built-in support for wide color gamuts and HDR. It's useful if you're building image processing pipelines, web servers, or tools that need state-of-the-art compression; the command-line utilities (cjxl, djxl) let you benchmark and convert images directly. Most users won't need it unless working with photography, archival, or next-gen image formats.
