I've personally used webp for when I need lossy compression with alpha channel. What good alternatives are there? Png is not lossy and jpeg does not support alpha. Is JXL better than WebP? AVIF? JPEG2000?
pngout can often get image sizes down below equivalent jpeg without quality loss. And it's not a new format, just optimizing the existing png file.
JXL is nice, but lacks support as well
WebP is also great for doing animations with transparency on mobile. Transparent video is barely supported and gif is terrible. WebP is really the only option
