Adobe is backing the format, Apple support is coming along, and there are rumors that Apple is switching from HEIC to JPEG XL as a capture format as early as the iPhone 16 coming out in a few weeks. As soon as we have a full blown workflow that can take images from camera to post processing to publishing in JXL, we might see a pretty strong push for adoption at the user side (browsers, websites, chat programs, social media apps and sites, etc.).
Do you know QOI format ? I would appreciate your opinion about it.
QOI is just a format that's easy for a programmer to get their head around.
It's not designed for everyday use and hardware optimization like jpeg-xl is.
You're most likely to see QOI in homebrewed game engines.
To be honest, no. I mainly know about JPEG XL only because I'm acutely aware of the limitations of standard JPEG for both photography and high resolution scanned documents, where noise and real world messiness cause all sorts of problems. Something like QOI seems ideal for synthetic images, which I don't work with a lot, and wouldn't know the limitations of PNG as well.
