How to permanently enable JPEG XL in the latest stable Microsoft Edge 91
Enabling JPEG XL in Microsoft Edge 91 is tricky. The runtime flag has to be embedded in a shortcut and may not work all the time (e.g. if you run Edge from a different shortcut without runtime flag). Here's how you can enable it permanently... or at least until you revert it.
- MAKE SURE THAT THE BROWSER ISN'T RUNNING.
- Open
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data
in File Explorer. - Open
Local State
file in your favourite text editor. - Find
"enabled_labs_experiments":
string.- If you found it, enter
"enable-jxl@1"
inside empty brackets next to the string above. - If the brackets aren't empty because you've already got some flags enabled, insert
,"enable-jxl@1"
(yes, with that comma) before the closing bracket, after all other flag descriptions (or inside the list, I tried to keep its alphabetical order). - If you couldn't find that string, try temporarily enabling a non-harmful flag (I'd recommend
Parallel downloading
), then close the browser, open the file again, and replace that flag's string ("enable-parallel-downloading@1"
, if you followed my example) with"enable-jxl@1"
.
- If you found it, enter
- Save and close the file, then open the browser and test if JPEG XL is working on https://jpegxl.info, https://jpegxl.info/jxl-art.html and https://mo271.github.io/jxl.
