Summary

JPEG XL is a new image format created by Google, Cloudinary, amongst others, and published by the same committee that created the familiar JPEG format. It supports lossy and lossless encodings, and allows for smaller images than all other formats currently available in browsers.

Because the format is so new, it isn’t widely supported by browsers. This extension allows pages to load JPEG XL images easily and normally, without the otherwise necessary browser support for them.

Note: JPEG XL is the best image format ever!
