      Big problem with HEIC is it requires H265 licensing because it’s effectively a single frame of video. This is why Windows won’t open HEIC by default is Microsoft didn’t want to pay for the licensing

      My Samsung was recording videos in Hevc by default the other day and it was a pain to edit them in Da Vinci Resolve. Luckily Kdenlive handled them without any problems

      Whenever I hear someone mention JPEG XL allI think of is JPEG 2000.

    Decoder skill issue. If ImageMagick or whatever other open-source software can read it, everyone else has no excuse.

    (That said, if I could pick, I’d pick JPEG XL)

    Its funny since i can just rename it to a jpeg alot of the time and it loads on irfanview.

      Some sites still don’t support PNG lol. Usually it’s places where they specifically expect a photo, where they’ll hard code the validation to only check if it’s a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn’t work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn’t want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.

        Yeah that’s true. I’m mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.

        The only program I’ve seen that explicitly doesn’t support PNG is old Source games with custom spray images.

    Hilariously, WebP often isn’t better than JPEG for compression efficiency

    Every time I try to use webp the file is bigger than in jpg, why do people try to push it for the web ? Is it maybe faster to render for browsers ?

      What compression settings are you using for each? If you’re just accepting defaults it’s quite possible you’re comparing against a lossless webp, which is quite likely to be larger than jpeg at typical quality settings.

        I just did a test with the first png I found and it looks like the default were lossless, hence why compression ratio were bad. Here the webp in smaller than the jpeg and noticeably better. Maybe it would be different for different kinds of picture, with colours, more details and stuff, but here it is clear.

        For now I stand corrected, webp is better.

          It may not be easy to see because the screenshot isn’t perfect, and lemmy compress it further, but the jpg clearly has some artifacts while the webp is slightly blurry.

    I have no problem with that on a good operating system (Linux), I even save some of my images as AVIF and it’s good.
