    Questions

    What is JPEG XL?

    A modern image format from the JPEG committee (ISO/IEC 18181): smaller files than JPG at the same quality, transparency, HDR and a lossless mode. Safari, many photo editors and Apple devices support it; Chrome and Firefox don’t show it yet.

    My JXL file won’t open anywhere. What should I pick?

    JPG for photos you want to share or post, PNG for graphics, screenshots or when you need transparency or an exact copy.

    Does it use JPEG XL’s lossless JPEG recompression?

    No. JPEG XL can repack an existing JPG about 20% smaller and rebuild the original file exactly, but that needs a tool working on the JPG’s internal data. This converter encodes the pixels, like saving from an image editor. With “Lossless” ticked the pixels are kept exactly, but the file is usually larger than the JPG.

    Is anything downloaded?

    The JPEG XL decoder and encoder (libjxl, about 0.8 MB compressed) load once when you start, because most browsers don’t have them. They then work offline.

    How many images can I do at once?

    Up to 20 files per batch, up to 50 MB each and 200 MB in total. Files are processed one after another; download each one as soon as it is ready, or all of them as a ZIP.

    Very large images are refused to keep your browser from running out of memory: above 100 megapixels on computers and 50 megapixels on phones and tablets. On iPhone and iPad, formats other than HEIC are limited to about 16 megapixels by Safari.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
