One of the features of Jpegli is its full compatibility with the original JPEG standard and API/ABI. 24 Channels. The new format easily integrates with existing options like libjpeg-turbo and MozJPEG, providing a seamless transition for developers looking for advanced rendering capabilities, the developers said in a blog post.

The library features high-quality image processing that uses precise calculations, resulting in sharper images with fewer artifacts. This approach preserves image quality and compatibility with standard viewers.

• Despite its excellent image quality, Jpegli also maintains a competitive encoding speed comparable to well-known options such as libjpeg-turbo and MozJPEG. This ensures that developers can use the new library without losing performance or consuming additional resources.
• In addition, Jpegli offers the ability to encode images with 10 or more bits per color component; This is superior to traditional libraries that generally encode images with 8 bits per component. This innovation minimizes artifacts in smooth transitions while ensuring compatibility with existing viewers.
• In addition to improved quality, Jpegli exhibits higher compression efficiency compared to traditional codecs. This means significant savings in storage space and network traffic, ultimately speeding up page load times for users.

Google attributes the efficiency improvements to its integration with the JPEG XL format. Although JPEG XL support was abandoned in Google Chrome due to its shortcomings, Google used its successes to create Jpegli, which brought tangible benefits to web developers.

As the demand for high-quality images and fast loading of web content continues to grow, Google’s Jpegli library is emerging as a promising solution for today’s web development projects.
