It’s sad.
Adoption rate does matter. HEIC currently has a 13.99% adoption, and WebP has a 95.92% adoption rate in web browsers.
So when considering support in softwate, it’s more reasonable to pick WebP as default, rather than HEIC.
There are of course other considerations, like compression efficiency, format features, patents, …
Big problem with HEIC is it requires H265 licensing because it’s effectively a single frame of video. This is why Windows won’t open HEIC by default is Microsoft didn’t want to pay for the licensing
My Samsung was recording videos in Hevc by default the other day and it was a pain to edit them in Da Vinci Resolve. Luckily Kdenlive handled them without any problems
Apple just loves having their own media formats
Support JXL
Whenever I hear someone mention JPEG XL allI think of is JPEG 2000.
JXL is my favourite squadron.
The irony is if I download this meme, it will be in webp format 😐
Only from the Lemmy image view, but the original is JPEG and you can download it too.
Today I learned something. Thanks!
Its funny since i can just rename it to a jpeg alot of the time and it loads on irfanview.
Decoder skill issue. If ImageMagick or whatever other open-source software can read it, everyone else has no excuse.
(That said, if I could pick, I’d pick JPEG XL)
Every time I try to use webp the file is bigger than in jpg, why do people try to push it for the web ? Is it maybe faster to render for browsers ?
What compression settings are you using for each? If you’re just accepting defaults it’s quite possible you’re comparing against a lossless webp, which is quite likely to be larger than jpeg at typical quality settings.
I just did a test with the first png I found and it looks like the default were lossless, hence why compression ratio were bad.
Here the webp in smaller than the jpeg and noticeably better. Maybe it would be different for different kinds of picture, with colours, more details and stuff, but here it is clear.For now I stand corrected, webp is better.
It may not be easy to see because the screenshot isn’t perfect, and lemmy compress it further, but the jpg clearly has some artifacts while the webp is slightly blurry.
JPG is lossy, WEBP is smaller than PNG, but is lossless. I think.
Hilariously, WebP often isn’t better than JPEG for compression efficiency
I have no problem with that on a good operating system (Linux), I even save some of my images as AVIF and it’s good.
