Mark release v0.6 in the CHANGELOG (#686) (cherry picked from commit 5a77302bf9aa04913d40303523fc4be20b5023e9) (cherry picked from PR #686)
This repository contains a reference implementation of JPEG XL (encoder and decoder), called libjxl. This software library is used by many applications that support JPEG XL.
JPEG XL is in the final stages of standardization and its codestream and file format are frozen.
The library API, command line options, and tools in this repository are subject to change, however files encoded with cjxl conform to the JPEG XL format specification and can be decoded with current and future djxl decoders or libjxl decoding library.
For more details and other workflows see the “Advanced guide” below.
git clone https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl.git --recursive
This repository uses git submodules to handle some third party dependencies under third_party, that‘s why is important to pass --recursive. If you didn’t check out with --recursive, or any submodule has changed, run:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Important: If you downloaded a zip file or tarball from the web interface you won't get the needed submodules and the code will not compile. You can download these external dependencies from source running ./deps.sh. The git workflow described above is recommended instead.
Required dependencies for compiling the code, in a Debian/Ubuntu based distribution run:
sudo apt install cmake pkg-config libbrotli-dev
Optional dependencies for supporting other formats in the cjxl/djxl tools, in a Debian/Ubuntu based distribution run:
sudo apt install libgif-dev libjpeg-dev libopenexr-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev
We recommend using a recent Clang compiler (version 7 or newer), for that install clang and set CC and CXX variables.
sudo apt install clang export CC=clang CXX=clang++
cd libjxl mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF .. cmake --build . -- -j$(nproc)
The encoder/decoder tools will be available in the build/tools directory.
sudo cmake --install .
To encode a source image to JPEG XL with default settings:
build/tools/cjxl input.png output.jxl
For more settings run build/tools/cjxl --help or for a full list of options run build/tools/cjxl -v -v --help.
To decode a JPEG XL file run:
build/tools/djxl input.jxl output.png
When possible cjxl/djxl are able to read/write the following image formats: .exr, .gif, .jpeg/.jpg, .pfm, .pgm/.ppm, .pgx, .png.
For speed benchmarks on single images in single or multi-threaded decoding djxl can print decoding speed information. See djxl --help for details on the decoding options and note that the output image is optional for benchmarking purposes.
For more comprehensive benchmarking options, see the benchmarking guide.
We build a common environment based on Debian/Ubuntu using Docker. Other systems may have different combinations of versions and dependencies that have not been tested and may not work. For those cases we recommend using the Docker container as explained in the step by step guide.
For experienced developers, we provide build instructions for several other environments:
If you encounter any difficulties, please use Docker instead.

There is a subreddit about JPEG XL, and informal chatting with developers and early adopters of libjxl can be done on the JPEG XL Discord server.
