JPEG has no alpha channel, so transparency is painted with this colour.

Optimise with OxiPNG (slower, smaller)

Plain PNG output is lossless but unoptimised, so re-saving a PNG that was already optimised makes it bigger. Tick this to recompress it properly, or convert to WebP or AVIF.

About this tool

Read the caveat before you commit

JPEG XL is technically the strongest format here — better quality per byte than WebP, progressive decoding, and lossless recompression of existing JPEGs. But Chrome removed support and only Safari 17 and later ships a decoder, so a JXL on a public web page is invisible to most visitors. Use it for archiving and for pipelines you control; use AVIF or WebP for anything you are actually publishing.

Excellent quality per byte

Competitive with AVIF on photographs and ahead of WebP, with progressive decoding so a partial download still shows a usable image.

Support is the catch

Safari 17+ decodes JXL. Chrome, Edge and Firefox do not by default. That makes it a poor choice for a website and a good one for a personal archive.

Convert back at any time

Because JXL is lossy here, the honest archival move is to keep your original. If you need a servable copy later, convert to AVIF or WebP on this same site.

Questions

Questions about this tool

What is JPEG XL and should I use it?

JPEG XL is a modern format with excellent quality per byte, progressive decoding and the ability to recompress existing JPEGs losslessly. Use it for archiving or inside a pipeline you control. Do not use it on a public website: most browsers cannot display it.

Which browsers support JPEG XL?

Safari 17 and later. Chrome shipped it behind a flag and then removed it, and Firefox has it disabled by default. That is the single fact that should decide whether JXL suits your use.

Is JPEG XL better than AVIF?

On quality per byte they are close, with JXL often ahead on non-photographic content and faster to encode. AVIF wins decisively on the thing that matters for the web — every current browser can display it.

Can I convert JPEG XL back to JPG?

Not on this page: the tools here read JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP, TIFF and SVG, but not JXL, because browsers cannot decode it for us. Keep your original file rather than relying on converting a JXL back.

Does JPEG XL support transparency?

Yes, it has a full alpha channel, so cut-outs and logos convert without a background appearing.
