What is a JXL (JPEG XL) file?

JPEG XL (JXL) is a next-generation image format created by the same standards committee behind the original JPEG. It supports both lossless and lossy compression, transparency, animation, wide colour gamut, and HDR. A standout feature is lossless JPEG recompression: an existing JPG can be repacked as JXL roughly 20% smaller and then restored bit-for-bit, which makes JXL attractive for large photo archives.

How to open a JXL file?

Browser support is still uneven. Safari has decoded JXL natively since version 17 (2023) on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, so a JXL will open by double-clicking on an up-to-date Mac. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox do not enable JXL by default, so on Windows and Android you will usually need a dedicated viewer — XnView MP and GIMP are the most reliable, and IrfanView reads JXL through its plugin pack.

Affinity Photo and recent versions of macOS also handle JXL, and the reference libjxl tools provide command-line encoders and decoders. To share a JXL image widely, convert it first using our JXL to JPG converter.
