JPEG XL Image Extension 1.2.25.0

JPEG XL is a modern image format designed to deliver high-quality images with smaller file sizes.

It supports both lossless and lossy compression, making it a versatile choice for web graphics, photography, and long-term image storage.

Compared to older formats like JPEG and PNG, JPEG XL offers better performance, HDR support, and more efficient compression.

If you've come across a .jxl file and can't open it, you're not alone.

Most operating systems and apps don’t support JPEG XL by default. That’s where the JPEG XL Image Extension comes in.
