Compressed images may not look amazing, but they provide faster load times for websites.
Jpegli is a new technique for encoding and decoding traditional JPEGs.
To reiterate, this is a JPEG encoding method, not a new file format.

With Jpegli, Google hopes to provide more effective image compression with minimal quality loss.
Google promises a 35% compression ratio improvement with Jpegli encoding.
This is a substantial leap over encoders.
If a different decoding method is used, the image will appear as 8-bit.
Any individual, business, or app can use Jpegli to encode and decode images.
It’s open-source and freely available onGithub.
However, Jpegli adoption among apps, browsers, and CDNs may be slow.
It’s safe to assume that Google-owned services will be the first to truly embrace Jpegli.
