JPEG XL?
JPEG XL (or JXL for short) is a relatively new image standard by the JPEG committee (yes, the old JPEG that we all familiar with!). It's aimed to be a long-term replacement for web image delivery formats like the old JPEG and PNG. It also have basic animation function like GIF and APNG, and can have a basic layering function as well! Better compression ratio, HDR support, animation support, and up to 32-bit depth support is just a few of their enticing features for me! I myself beginning to phase out PNG for my workflow in digital painting in favor of JXL, especially for lossless storage.. Moreover on HDR pics, no more TIFF for storing simple images!
