PostScript to JPEG XL

Why convert PostScript to JPEG XL?

The main difference: PostScript is a vector format, while JPEG XL is a lossy or lossless format. JPEG XL can have a transparent background, PostScript can't.

Supports transparent backgrounds

JPEG XL can hold a transparent background. Convert your image first, then cut out the background or place it on top of other designs.

Lighter images for your website

At the same visual quality, JPEG XL files are noticeably smaller than JPG or PNG. Lighter images mean faster pages, better Core Web Vitals and a small boost for SEO.

What is a PostScript file?

PostScript (.ps) is Adobe's page description language from 1984 - the language many professional printers speak. A .ps file describes a whole page or document as instructions for drawing text, shapes and images.

PostScript files mostly come from print workflows and "print to file" output. PDF was built on the same ideas and has replaced it for everyday use.

How to open a PostScript file

Ghostscript and GSview open PostScript files on Windows; macOS Preview handled them up to Monterey. Adobe Acrobat Distiller converts them to PDF. Converting to PDF or PNG is the easiest way to view one today.

What is a JPEG XL file?

JPEG XL is a next-generation image format standardized in 2022 as a successor to JPG. It compresses better than JPG and WebP, supports transparency, HDR and animation, and can losslessly repack existing JPGs about 20% smaller.

Adoption is growing - Apple supports it across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and some cameras and photo apps can save it - but many browsers and programs can't open it yet.

How to open a JPEG XL file

Safari 17+, macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 and later open JPEG XL. Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo and darktable support it. On Windows, and in Chrome, convert it to JPG or PNG to view it.

Extension: .jxl
Compression: Lossy or lossless
Transparency: Yes
