JPEG XL support (self.meta)
submitted 2 months ago by to c/meta
 

When I go to upload an image in JPEG XL format, I get the error message "Your post was not accepted because filetype not allowed". Is that something configured by the instance? Is this actually something that I should be taking to the PyLova devs to add as a feature? Should I be taking that to the upstream Piefed devs?

JPEG XL sure seems to be the best image format for many purposes, and software support is growing. I think Chrome and Safari support it and Firefox has experimental support and plans to enable full support by the end of the month. I certainly plan to use the format once it is widely supported.

Hey I'm looking at adding this. My only concern is around rendering jpeg xl and browser support, but if it's supported as your saying that hopefully shouldn't be an issue.

    While browser support is improving, it seems like no third-party PieFed apps support JPEG XL yet. I tried Thunder, Voyager, Blorp, and Summit. That JPEG XL image in this thread doesn't render in any of those apps, but it does in Firefox (with that experimental support toggled on).
