Free online animated JPEG XL Maker

The Animated JXL (JPEG XL) Maker is an online tool that allows you to create high-quality animated images using the modern JPEG XL format. You can easily combine multiple images (such as JPG, PNG, and WebP) or merge existing animations (including GIF, APNG, and WebP) into a single, animated JXL file. Our tool ensures that the original quality and transparency are preserved, taking full advantage of the JPEG XL codec's capabilities.

This tool gives you complete control over your animation frames. Once uploaded, you can view and rearrange frames with drag-and-drop, toggle specific frames to skip or enable them, duplicate frames with a single click. We offer advanced frame management options like skipping a range of frames or targeting every N-th frame for deletion. If your source images are of different sizes, the "Equalize" feature will help you automatically crop or resize them to match, ensuring a seamless animation.

Fine-tune your animation with precision by adjusting the global delay time (speed) or setting individual delays for each frame. The JXL Maker also supports custom loop counts, the ability to add a crossfade (fader) effect between frames for smooth transitions, and a "don't stack" option for handling transparent backgrounds. The tool is entirely web-based, fast, free, and adds no watermarks to your creations. You can use it on any device without the need to install any software.

Warning: As of mid-2026, most web browsers still do not support animated JPEG XL files or require experimental flags or specific configurations to natively display them. If the output image preview doesn't appear in your browser, don't worry, the tool has still successfully generated your file. You can download the resulting JXL file to your device or continue editing it with other local tools.

Frequently asked questions

Which browsers support animated JPEG XL?

Browser support for animated JXL is still limited. Some browsers require experimental flags to be enabled. However, the format is gaining adoption in image-editing software and operating systems. You can always download the generated file and view it in compatible applications like GIMP, ImageMagick, or the Windows Photos app.

What are the advantages of JPEG XL over other formats?

JPEG XL offers superior compression compared to GIF, APNG, and WebP, often producing files 30–60% smaller. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, HDR, wide color gamut, and progressive decoding. It is designed as a universal replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF.

Why doesn't the output preview show in my browser?

Most browsers do not yet natively render animated JXL files. The file has been generated successfully — click the download button to save it. You can view it in applications that support JPEG XL, or convert it to GIF or WebP for web display.

Can I convert a GIF or WebP to animated JXL?

Yes. Upload any animated GIF, WebP, APNG, or MNG file and the tool will import all frames. You can adjust timing, reorder or skip frames, add crossfade effects, and export as a single animated JXL file.

How do I enable JXL support in Google Chrome?

Open a new tab and type chrome://flags in the address bar. Search for "JPEG XL" and set the Enable JXL image format flag to Enabled. Restart Chrome for the change to take effect. Note that this is an experimental flag and may be removed or changed in future Chrome versions.
