> AVIF has an image resolution limit of 65536 x 65536 pixels.

but from https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2023/jpegxl-vs-avif/

> Max image size is limited to 4K (3840x2160) in AVIF, which is a deal breaker to me. You can tile images, but seams are visible at the edges,

> WebP also has a hard limit to an image's frame size, with its maximum dimension being 16,383 x 16,383

> WebP supports a max bit depth of 8-bit

> AVIF flexes a max bit depth of 10

Jpeg XL has progressive rendering support https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/09/using-saliency-in-...

AVIF spec doesn't (although it might gain it: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122171...)

JPEG-XL manages to be more efficient than other current formats: https://cloudinary.com/blog/jpeg-xl-how-it-started-how-its-g...

All of that while being a good all-around image format (rather than a specialized one like webp and avif): same format for web, photos, raw photos, etc. To me, this makes it the most noteworthy image format now.




interesting, thank you for the links.
