this has been a bit of a meme, but if you wanted to look at XL as extra large, then that could refer to the max resolution which is far great. I’ve seen people refere to it as “extra long-term” but I think the real reason is they just wanted to fuck with us
I took my existing JPEG file, compressed it using JXL, 15% smaller.
Then I decompressed it again into JPEG. The file was bit-for-bit identical to the original file (same hash). Blew my mind!
Directly using JXL is even better of course.
So it’s called xlarge… And it makes files smaller.
Why.
The same amount of JXL gives you more image than JPEG? Also, it supports ridiculous resolutions (terapixel).
