JPEG XL image format

JPEG - JPEG XL

JPEG XL is a royalty-free raster-graphics file format that supports both lossy and lossless compression. It is designed to outperform existing raster formats and thus to become their universal replacement.

You can enable JPEG XL on Chrome 91 by enabling the following:
chrome://flags/#enable-jxl

This image format is going to be deprecated soon. Google says 'not enough interest from entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG XL' is the reason behind it.

Thank you everyone for your comments and feedback regarding JPEG XL. We will be removing the JPEG XL code and flag from Chromium for the following reasons:

- Experimental flags and code should not remain indefinitely
- There is not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG XL
- The new image format does not bring sufficient incremental benefits over existing formats to warrant enabling it by default
- By removing the flag and the code in M110, it reduces the maintenance burden and allows us to focus on improving existing formats in Chrome
