- Starting from v145 Chrome supports JXL.
There is also an extension for this: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jpeg-xl-viewer/bkhd...

Works great on PaleMoon, one of the earliest browsers to support JPEG XL and "Global Privacy Control" ( https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ ).
- I published some benchmarks recently:
https://op111.net/posts/2025/10/png-and-modern-formats-lossl...
I compare PNG and the four modern formats, AVIF, HEIF, WebP, JPEG XL, on tasks/images that PNG was designed for. (Not on photographs or lossy compression.)
- One thing I like about JPEG-XL is that it supports all kinds of weird image formats.
For example, I used to work with depth data a lot, which is best expressed as monochrome 16-bit floating point images. Previously, TIFF was the only format that supported this. Many shops would instead save depth images as UINT16 .PNG files, where the raw pixel intensity maps to the camera distance in mm. The problem with this is that pixels more than 65.535 meters away aren't representable. (Hot take: I personally think this is one reason why nobody studies depth estimation for outdoor scenes.)
JPEG-XL supports more weird combinations here, e.g. storing greyscale float32 images (with alpha even! you can store sparse depth maps without needing a separate mask!)
It's like, uniquely suited to these sorts of 3D scene understanding challenges and I really hope people adopt the format for more scientific applications.
- Orion, and presumably other Webkit-based browsers that are actually up-to-date, can also see the image.
Hopefully my photo processor will accept JPEG XL in the near future!
- I'm seeing the image on zen which is a firefox fork but not on firefox itself :/
even with `image.jxl.enabled` I don't see it on firefox

- Support is not a boolean.
A proper test page should have HDR images, images testing if 10-bit gradients are posterised to 8-bit or displayed smoothly, etc...
iOS for example can show a JPEG XL image, but can't forward it in iMessage to someone else.
- Works in ladybird as well.
- JPEG XL is also good, but why not use AVIF? It's widely supported by browsers, and rivals JPEG XL in being the best lossy image format.

- Are there any up-to-date WebKit browsers for Android? The best I could find was Lightning, but it hasn't been updated in years.
Edit: I found A Lightning fork called Fulguris. It didn't work with the JPEG XL test image, but I really like the features and customizability. It's now my default browser on Android.
- According to CanIUse, no browser implementation currently supports progressive decoding [1]. This is unfortunate, since progressive decoding theoretically is a major advantage of JPEG XL over AVIF, which doesn't allow it in principle, even though ordinary JPEG allows it. But apparently even a default (non-progressive) JPEG XL allows some limited form of progressive decoding [2]. It's unclear whether browsers support it though.

- A rare win for gnome web over firefox here
- Alright, that image made be really miss Lenna as an example image.
- Very good benchmark. Concise yet detailed. I like the selection of images. I wanted to see at least one actual camera photo however, for comparison.
- On Waterfox. Image displays fine.
- I enabled image.jxl.enabled in LibreWolf and works. It doesn't work in Firefox Beta, though?
- Epiphany (aka Gnome Web) on Linux shows this correctly, as expected for a Webkit-based browser.
- If I download the image, Fedora KDE shows it properly in Dolphin and Gwenview.
- > this means only Safari will display the image, as far as I know.
Works fine for me in Orion on both desktop and mobile ( https://orionbrowser.com ).
- Looks like the sort of person that would create a superior image file format.

- I think JPEG XL's naming was unfortunate. People want to associate new image formats with leanness, lightness, efficiency.

Surprised to see it working on iOS 17.
- Works on FireFox Focus on mobile, FWIW. (Latest iOS)

- Presumably the "January 2027" statement is a typo, ...or is that when it is slated to launch in safari?

- On zen. It works.
- > more or less means only Safari will display the image
Who is going to take the bait, and say that Safari isn't like IE?
- I can see the image just fine on Thorium!
- Looks like it works in Brave

- Unrelated but I read "it did not saw" and immediately thought, this person is Dutch. Then I saw the .nl domain. Not sure if this double-conjugation mistake is common in other ESL speakers but I hear it a lot living in the Netherlands.
- Works in Waterfox (6.6.8)

- Is the selectable text a safari thing or a JPEG XL thing?
- Honestly I was hoping for a page showing off more of jpeg xl features rather than just a single image
- can you please:
* add an correct HTML image alt information
* compress your HTML and CSS with brotli (or gzip)
thanks!

- Works with Waterfox on macOS but curiously not Firefox. I wonder if their search deal with Google included keeping the image.jxl.enabled setting off.
