alt Hacker NewsIf it's reversible, why not just store as JPEG XL and then convert back when it's served? Does it take a lot of processing time?

Isn’t that what the comment you’re replying to is suggesting?

You can do that and that's one of the big appeals. You can serve bost JXL and JPEG from the same source and you8 can actually serve downscaled versions of the JXL image from the original bytestream.
Also OP did say "transcode on the fly" to serve JPEG, not actually storing as JPEG.
