  • squoosh

    Make images smaller using best-in-class codecs, right in the browser.

    The images I've set up for web use are not very large. I don't have a RAW workflow.

    So maybe I'm missing something.

    I've found it very challenging to get better compression than optimized JPEG via Squoosh.

    Of course, JPEG XL has alpha channels, and I'm comparing a new format against a standard that's had 20 years of refinement in implementation.

    Are we cutting ourselves off from a similar future with JPEG XL?

    Rate-Distortion Optimized Lossy PNG/QOI Encoding Tool

    > Once I hit the limit with jpg I switched to png

    Since that it seems that you're okay with lossy images, have you've tried RDOPNG (https://github.com/richgel999/rdopng)? It won't be as great as JPEG or JXL but it should eke out better-compressed images.
