Don't sleep on JPEG XL. It's used under the hood within DNG files (at least, it's an option, Adobe DNG Converter can leverage it, including by the CLI), DxO PureRAW leverages it in the latest versions. Apple Photos can view them, and I think it's been the compression methodology used inside their ProRAW DNGs for a while (which probably by default makes it one of the worlds most popular image compressors for RAW files). I've had a lot of success using it for various things. Had some issues surrounding metadata but that may be user error on my part.

JPEG XL aka .jxl is now supported by Firefox 152 and Chrome since 145 (behind a flag though on both).

JXL is the best image format we have - supports lossy and lossless compression, HDR, and much more!
