[ID-4274540] Support for JPEG XL (.jxl) import/placement
Dear InDesign Team,
Please add native support for the JPEG XL (.jxl) format in Adobe InDesign.
While JPEG XL is already supported in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, InDesign currently lacks the ability to place or export .jxl files. With Apple now using JPEG XL as a standard for ProRAW (starting with iPhone 16 Pro) and its superior compression and HDR capabilities, it is becoming a critical format for high-end publishing and photography workflows.
The lack of support forces users into unnecessary conversion steps (to TIFF or PSD), which increases file sizes and slows down the workflow.
Key benefits for InDesign users:
Lossless Transcoding: Ability to use high-quality imagery with significantly smaller file sizes.
HDR Support: Native handling of modern high-dynamic-range content.
Workflow Consistency: Seamless integration with JXL files coming from Photoshop and Lightroom.
Please bring InDesign up to speed with the rest of the Creative Cloud apps regarding this modern industry standard.
