HEIF (based on HEVC and support on MacOS/iOS + Android + Windows) is already way better than JPEG. It also provides HW acceleration.
HEIF is made by MPEG. HEIG is extensible (see AVIF fusing the AV1 royalty-free codec). Also an application format (MIAF) will ensure interoperability.
While waiting for native browser support, some js implementation would do the job.
What else?

- RBO2 8y agoI don't know who downvoted you but you're correct. The point is that most devices embed an HEVC hardware decoder.
- xvilka 8y agoIsn't it a patented algorithm? So it is practically useless.
- RBO2 8y agoI agree with you but hey JPEG also had its own patent issues (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Patent_issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Patent_issues).
