      JPEG XL (JXL) often stores photos noticeably smaller than JPG at the same quality and even supports lossless storage. Keep in mind, though: JXL is still barely opened by any browser or program - it is mainly useful for archiving or when your target software explicitly supports JXL.

      The JPG is decoded locally (including correct EXIF orientation) and encoded as JXL with a self-hosted codec. The quality slider controls the file size. Nothing is uploaded.

      For the conversion your JPG is fully decoded and re-encoded from the pixels as JXL - an ordinary, fresh encoding step, not a bit-exact repackaging of the original JPEG data. At high quality the extra loss is practically unnoticeable, but a second compression step still happens. JXL is nonetheless useful for archiving large photo collections space-efficiently, if your backup or library software supports the format. For everyday sharing it stays impractical as long as recipients cannot open it; in that case the familiar JPG is the better choice.

      In 3 steps

      1. Drop your JPG file.
      2. Choose a quality (default 80).
      3. Download the JXL.

      Limitations: JXL cannot recover detail JPG already discarded, but it stores the image more compactly. Most browsers and programs do not open JXL yet - as JPG the image stays readable everywhere. Very large images need time and memory.
