- Convert with a specific effort level ('1' - fastest but worst results, '10' - slowest but best results, '7' - default):

`cjxl {{[-e|--effort]}} {{1..10}} {{path/to/image.ext}} {{path/to/output}}.jxl`

- Convert with a specific quality:

`cjxl {{[-q|--quality]}} {{0..100}} {{path/to/image.ext}} {{path/to/output}}.jxl`

- Convert a JPEG to a JPEG XL with specific lossy quality:

`cjxl {{[-q|--quality]}} {{0..100}} {{[-j|--lossless_jpeg]}} 0 {{path/to/image.jpeg}} {{path/to/output}}.jxl`
