Google has reinstated support for the JPEG XL image format in the open source Chromium code base, reversing a decision it made in 2022 to remove it.

The update allows Chromium to recognize, decode, and render JPEG XL images directly, without extensions or external components.

This change applies at the browser engine level, meaning it will affect future versions of Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers when they are released.

    Sure, open up issues for these on the lemmy-ui repo.

    The resizing an image is out of scope tho, we aren’t going to embed an image suite into lemmy-ui, so you’ll have to do that locally.
