JXL.js as a Chrome extension

This is an experimental extension that converts any JXL (JPEG XL) image file in the page to WEBP.


It uses the following code for conversion:

  • https://github.com/niutech/jxl.js


You can find my fork here:

  • https://bit.ly/jxl-as-Chrome-extension


Limitations:

  • Conversion may take a couple of seconds, especially for large images.
  • No support for animated JXL files. Only the first frame is rendered.
  • May cause some pages to not load at all. If this happens, please uninstall the extension.

This is a work in progress. I'll add more explanation on use cases, tips, and workarounds here as I encounter them.
