There is the DJVU format for this exact use case, but you'd need to convert them to, say, pdf for many use case. Its also a bit old and perhaps not maintained, soo..
HEIF and other modern video encoders (HEIF=H265) should fare a lot better than JPEG, though.
Hm, DJVU seems like an ancient format and it also only supports JPEG and J2K as far as lossy formats go.
I'd love to use more modern formats such as AVIF, HEIF or even WEBP but paperless doesn't support some of them and images in general can only represent one page while many of my scans have multiple pages.
