Google Chrome Is Already Preparing To Deprecate JPEG-XL (~3x smaller than JPEG, HDR, lossless, alpha, progressive, recompression, animations)

• PNG-spec

  4 42 8.9 HTML

  Maintenance of the PNG specification

  

Especially enticing as the PNG file format does allow for additional compression/filter methods and new ones could be added to a PNG 2.0 standard. A small wishlist discussion about that at the W3C's PNG specification Github.

• Zpng

  4 254 10.0 C

  Better lossless compression than PNG with a simpler algorithm

Also, Chris Taylor published an experimental PNG library with Zstd hardwired in.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• jpeg2png

  2 469 10.0 C

  silky smooth JPEG decoding

That's not necessarily the case with the jpeg2png decoder, but it's been a while since I used it, and I'm not able to test right now. The PNG files will be smaller than with the usual JPEG decoding process, at least.

• libjxl

  84 2,209 9.8 C++

  JPEG XL image format reference implementation

  

The number of Google engineers who have contributed to libjxl (including myself) can be seen here: https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/graphs/contributors

• zopfli

  8 3,368 2.6 C++

  Zopfli Compression Algorithm is a compression library programmed in C to perform very good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression.

  

I mean something better than Google's best engineers trying to optimize LZ77's compression as much as humanly possible, while remaining compatible with the DEFLATE/zlib bitstream.
