TWAIN Working Group announces a new White Paper authored by TWAIN Board member, Rene Rebe, CEO of ExactCODE GmbH







The Benefits of Adding JPEG-XL to the ISO PDF Standard and PDF/Raster





As digital document workflows evolve, there is a growing need for more efficient and higher-quality image compression methods. The PDF format, while established as the standard for document exchange, has historically been limited by its reliance on older image formats like JPEG, PNG, and JPEG 2000.



This white paper explores the advantages of integrating JPEG-XL - a next-generation image compression standard—into the ISO PDF Standard and PDF/Raster, and how it can unlock new levels of efficiency, quality, and flexibility for modern document management.

JPEG-XL is a modern image compression standard designed to provide:



  • High compression ratios
  • Support for both lossless and lossy compression
  • Backward compatibility
  • Faster rendering times
  • Reduced processing load
  • Energy efficiency
  • Archiving of smartphone photos
  • Future-Proofing PDF for Modern Digital Workflows

If all current JPEGs were delivered as JPEG XLs (with an average 20% decrease in file size), we could save the equivalent to powering 487,000 average US homes for an hour and saving 3,500 metric tons of CO2 emissions per day.



By integrating JPEG-XL, PDF can evolve to meet the demands of modern digital document management, ensuring smaller file sizes, better image quality, and improved efficiency.

TWAIN Working Group supports the adoption of JPEG-XL into the ISO PDF standard as a crucial step towards modernizing the format and unlocking its full potential for industries worldwide.
