Comparison of Lossless Image Formats
David Barina

TL;DR
This paper evaluates various lossless image formats to determine which offers the highest efficiency, concluding that FLIF currently leads despite its development being discontinued in favor of JPEG XL.
Contribution
It provides a comparative analysis of lossless image formats, highlighting FLIF's superior efficiency over other formats.
Findings
FLIF is the most efficient lossless image format.
JPEG XL has replaced FLIF in development.
Lossless formats vary significantly in compression efficiency.
Abstract
In recent years, a bag with image and video compression formats has been torn. However, most of them are focused on lossy compression and only marginally support the lossless mode. In this paper, I will focus on lossless formats and the critical question: "Which one is the most efficient?" It turned out that FLIF is currently the most efficient format for lossless image compression. This finding is in contrast to that FLIF developers stopped its development in favor of JPEG XL.
