Why convert JPG to JXL?

JPG (JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)) — The most-used lossy format on the web. Excellent quality/size ratio for natural photos, but doesn't support transparency.

JXL (JPEG XL) — Official JPEG successor. Superior compression, performant lossless mode, and reversible conversion from existing JPG files.

Converting JPG to JXL typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original.
