About
JPEG-XL in most cases, is a better format choice, it still doesn't see universal compatibility though. JXL is here to bridge the gap and make JPEG-XL animations viewable on macOS and iOS
- See frame-by-frame details and the FPS rate targeted, and the FPS actual.
- Pause, export a still frame, compare to GIF/WebP/APNG.
- Scan a directory for JXL files: JXL lets you select a folder in the Files app on iOS and Finder on macOS, and scans recursively for JXL's to view in the app.
- Does NOT duplicate or dedicate any of your images/files on an app-specific, private or shared folder(which is important especially on iOS). It only accesses external files temporarily
- Images you generate with the in-app generator are stored in the app. 10Mb will store thousands of these generated images.
- JXL was created to ensure users of InspiratioNULL's FileFlip app and other JXL fans can view files created with those tools, specifically, the animated versions! As creating and then expecting an animation and just see one single frame might make It seem like something was broken!
The JXL app, & the latest update of "LookQuick" (which now previews animated JXL system wide wherever Quick Look exists) were developed to ensure you can view the same ".jxl" files basically anywhere on both platforms
For more information on why we seem to be very passionate about this format, as we've mentioned this particular format multiple times.
