Thanks for letting me know about JPEG XL. I tested it a little bit, and it seems like a c. 15% reduction in size, so it's something, but not huge. OTOH, if I publish an image in JXL, I doubt someone on an Amiga will be able to view it, but maybe he's not going to view images anyway.

Does any operating system or Gemini browsers support JPEG XL?
On the Amiga it really depends on your setup what size of images you can show. On a unexpanded Amiga 500 you can view 640x480 NTSC or 640x512 PAL in 16 colors.
A popular addon for Amiga 500 is the PiStorm whch gives, among other things, a graphics card that can run full HD at 24/32 bitdepth.
Aren’t a lot of the older systems using text only browsers or Gemini over SSH? I do Gemini over SSH on MacOS9. Won’t be getting any images there unless I download them.
Image size — How large should images be in the Geminispace? On the WWW, I would just link to photos straight from my phone, but those files can approach 5 MB. Does anyone have a soft mental limit of, say, 1 MB? Or smaller? 5 MB is probably overkill; I may go smoller, but I don't know that I want to be smaller.
