JPEG XL’s lossy mode provides equal quality to JPEG at 60% smaller file sizes, and its lossless mode enables file sizes 35% smaller on average compared to PNG (incidentally, manga seems to compress much better than average: using -q 100 -s 9 -E 3 -I 1 [and for some pages, -g 3], I attained a better than 41% size reduction on this doujin, compared to the zipped PNG files on FAKKU.) It has a bevy of other features too, including alpha channel support, animation, progressive decoding, and high bit depths (up to 32-bit [float] per channel), and image dimensions that cap at 1,073,741,823 x 1,073,741,824 pixels. Most of that isn’t relevant to manga, but it’s still quite cool. It also has a special feature: the ability to losslessly recompress existing JPEG files, to reduce file sizes another ~20%; the old JPEGs can even be perfectly recreated from the JPEG XL files produced in this way! JPEG XL is totally capable of perfectly replacing JPEG, GIF, PNG, and WebP! Here are some links to get started: Sample results for lossless compression: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ju4q1WkaXT7WoxZINmQpf4ElgMD2VMlqeDN2DuZ6yJ8 Source code: https://gitlab.com/wg1/jpeg-xl Official website: https://jpeg.org/jpegxl/ Early Viewers: https://imageglass.org/moon A precompiled windows binary: https://encode.su/threads/3564-JXL-version-0-3-released?p=69282&viewfull=1#post69282 (NEW!) Support added to the latest Canary builds of Chrome/Chromium! Version 91.0.4471.0 (Official Build) canary (x86_64) https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/6980917f414387c968a94b4ee1feb4fdf654b157 In the linked zip file with the binaries, cjxl.exe can be used to convert files to JPEG XL, and djxl.exe can be used to decode JPEG XL files, and export as a different format. You can use -h -v to get information about the functions of the binaries. If you want to batch convert lots of PNG files to JPEG XL, here is a suggestion for how to do so: Move the PNG files into the folder where cjxl.exe is located, click on the Windows Explorer address bar (when you are in that folder) and type ‘cmd’ (without the quotes) and hit ‘ENTER’ on your keyboard. Then use the following command: for %i in (D:\jpeg-xl*.png) do cjxl “%i” “%i.jxl” -q 100 -s 9 -E 3 -I 1 Set the location in the brackets to wherever your binary and PNG files are. You may also visit ‘https://squoosh.app/’ to work with JPEG XL files, as well as other formats, and to convert between them.
