> Crappy as a .jpg, only bigger.

Honestly, that's exactly what it sounds like to me too. I know it's not, but it's still what it sounds like. And it's just way too many letters total. When we have "giff" and "ping" as one-syllable names, "jay-peg-ex-ell" is unfortunate.

Really should have been an entirely new name, rather than extending what is already an ugly acronym.

I’ll never not say pee-en-gee. You’re right though.

I always have called it PNG pee-en-ji, and JPEG XL for me has p much all the time been jay-x-el.
