Convert JPG to JXR

Understanding JPG and JXR file formats

The JPG (or JPEG) format is a widely used image format known for its lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. It is commonly used for digital photography and web images due to its balance between quality and file size.

The JXR (JPEG XR) format, developed by Microsoft, offers higher compression efficiency and supports both lossy and lossless compression. It provides better image quality at smaller file sizes compared to traditional JPG, and supports advanced features like high dynamic range (HDR) imaging.
