Web browser adoption of JPEG XL format

Overview

Major web browsers are implementing native support for the JPEG XL image format to improve web performance and image quality.

Google Chrome 155 introduced support using a Rust-based decoder to mitigate memory safety vulnerabilities like heap overflows. This format provides 30% to 50% better compression than standard JPEG and supports features such as high dynamic range (HDR) and lossless transcoding.

Following Chrome’s implementation, Mozilla released Firefox 158 with native JPEG XL support enabled by default, moving the format from an optional Labs feature to a standard component.
