Once JPEG XL arrives on the major browsers will sites be able to convert all their JPGs to JXL then transcode on the fly for unsupported browsers? Once JPEG XL arrives on the major browsers will sites be able to convert all their JPGs to JXL then transcode on the fly for unsupported browsers?

Evidence suggests the major browsers will be getting JPEG XL this coming year.

Most folks know that JXL has a means to visually losslessly convert JPGs while still getting around 20% savings.

They said users themselves would have to push for it in talk-page discussions for supported format lists, but other than that, it does seem like a useful option given that Wikimedia/Commons has all sorts of platforms for data and stuff like that which is in use by a ton of Wikia communities out there. Could really help adoption too
