Why convert JXR to GIF?
JXR is the JPEG XR image format, introduced by Microsoft as HD Photo and standardised for high-quality photographic storage with efficient compression. The photo is decoded with the JPEG XR reference decoder at its full width and height, keeping the picture exactly as it was framed.
GIF stores the image with an optimised palette of up to 256 colours, which suits text, diagrams and flat colour.
