jpeg-xl VS ImageMagick

shit i did not know that.. does it also work well with wordpress etc? because the only downfall of avif is bunch of extra steps on a nginx to get it to work right.. Also, u/LITUATUI 's comment, do i just change avif to jpeg-xl? i found something but didnt fully finish reading yet https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl

One of the most interesting things to me is that JPEG-XL is under an open Patent License, unlike the original JPEG.

Also, Google contributed quite a bit to it's development. As the patent grants show:

https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl/blob/main/PATENTS

https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/PATENTS

Microsoft seemed to have gotten a patent on part of it's implementation (which Google also tried to get). Not sure if Google will pay to invalidate that patent, but I have a feeling they are more likely to defend AVIF.

Google's control is a little concerning, but I do feel there are bigger fish to fry then choosing between two free formats. Like H.264 and H.265 patents.

To tie all this together, we made an org profile for our GitHub organization page. There are some great examples of these, like Microsoft and PayPal. For Fastly's, we wanted something friendly and human so we used Imagemagick to create a montage of all the avatars of the Fastly team members who have contributed to the open source projects in our org:

Python has become a popular programming language for different applications, including data science, artificial intelligence, and web development. But, did you know creating and rendering fully customized videos with Python is also possible? At Stack Builders, we have successfully used Python libraries such as MoviePy, SciPy, and ImageMagick to generate videos with animations, text, and images. In this article, we will look closer at how Python can be used for video generation and explore some of the powerful libraries and tools that make it possible.

ImageMagick is the main tool and can do most conversions and image operations. For example to resize a whole folder of photos and convert to WebP you can do this:

Lack of open governance explains the fork in 2002. [0] The github commit history shows it's still a largely one-person-band. [1] The problems with this include a lack of succession planning, a lack of ability to scale bandwidth, and a narrower pool of ideas. The documentation website is really out-of-date as it mentions using a Borland compiler.
