Convert PNG to JXR

Understanding png and jxr file formats

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely used raster image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparency. It is commonly used for web graphics, digital photos, and images requiring high quality and transparency.

JXR (JPEG XR, previously known as HD Photo) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft. It offers advanced compression, high dynamic range imaging, and supports both lossy and lossless compression. JXR is often used in professional imaging and scenarios where high image quality and efficient storage are required.
