JPEG XL Test Page

published on 2026-01-21 * tagged with #web

This page shows a JPEG XL image, if your browser can handle it! At
this point in time (January 2026) this more or less means only Safari
will display the image, as far as I know. See also Can I Use.

The person in the image is Jon Sneyers, co-author of the JPEG XL spec
and also creator of the "Free Lossless Image Format" that came before
it.

I find JPEG XL interesting because of its history. It once was
implemented in Chrome, but hidden behind a feature flag. Then Chrome
said that it did not saw enough usage, which is unsurprising, really,
and it was removed. Now they blessed it again and are re-adding it!
Some of this story is found on the JPEG XL Wikipedia page
