    Actually never heard of JPEG XL, but i would prefer it for the promise of backwards compatibility alone. There are still programs and sites that don’t support using AVIF (much less WEBP ptui!).

        That’s not at all what backward compatibility is. What you’re saying is that a PlayStation 2 isn’t backwards compatible because a PlayStation 1 can’t play PlayStation 2 games; it makes literally no sense.

        That’s not backwards compatibility, what you described is forwards compatibility (Which is a thing, but not very common)

        Backwards compatibility is meaning that anything built to support JPEG XL will be able to render “classic” JPEG just fine without any extra effort
