The JPEG XL image extension is now available for download for Windows 11 24H2 users.
The JPEG XL image extension (.jxl) is available on Windows 11. You can download this extension from the Microsoft Store and it only works on Windows 11 24H2, according to PCWorld.
Why Use JPEG XL?
Once the extension is installed, existing JPEG files can be converted to the JPG XL format. The major advantage of this is that the file size decreases significantly while maintaining quality. Thus, the files not only take up less space on your hard drive, but they also load faster on websites.
In addition to compression, the format is optimized for web environments so that images are displayed correctly on different devices. It was specifically developed for this purpose, which was not the case with the rather outdated JPEG format.
JPEG XL also supports a wide color spectrum of 32 bits and high dynamic range images. The big difference with JPEG is that it is not yet a universal standard. JPEG has been around for thirty years and is supported by every device, every app, and every website. So it will take some time before the format is effectively established.
