Browsers Are Embracing JPEG XL Again: WebP Cloud Now Supports JXL by Default

Last month, we came across a particularly interesting piece of news: both Firefox and Chrome were preparing to enable JPEG XL support by default.

At first glance, this may look like browsers simply adding one more image format. JPEG XL’s history, however, has been anything but straightforward. Chrome once offered experimental support, only to remove it in 2023. Safari 17 became the first major browser to ship JPEG XL later that year. Then, in 2026, the increasingly mature Rust decoder jxl-rs brought both Chrome and Firefox back to the format.

浏览器重新拥抱 JPEG XL：WebP Cloud 已默认支持 JXL

上个月我们看到了一则很有意思的新闻：Firefox 和 Chrome 都准备默认启用对 JPEG XL 的支持。

如果只看结果，这似乎只是浏览器又多支持了一种图片格式，但 JPEG XL 的经历其实颇为曲折。Chrome 曾经提供过实验性支持，却又在 2023 年将相关代码移除；Safari 17 在同年率先支持了 JPEG XL；到了 2026 年，随着 Rust 解码器 jxl-rs 逐渐成熟，Chrome 和 Firefox 又重新开始推进这项工作。
