JPEG XL is a compressed image format and/or file format that is yet another attempt to be the next JPEG. It was first announced around 2017-08. It is expected to be published as ISO/IEC 18181.

JPEG XL is based in part on the FUIF and PIK formats.[1] The standard also supports recompression of JPEG files with bit-exact reconstruction.

Identification

  • Based on the reference implementation, JPEG XL codestreams start with bytes ff 0a.
  • Codestreams may also be wrapped in an ISOBMFF-based file format (implementation). See format overview:
    • the first 4 bytes would be the size of the box (00 00 00 0C, meaning 12 bytes long),
    • the box ID would be 4A 58 4C 20 (in ASCII JXL ) and
    • the box content would be the overall signature 0D 0A 87 0A.
