JPEG XL & Metadata

Frames for Mac now supports JPEG XL. When exporting your scans, you can embed data captured via the iPhone app directly into .jxl files, just as you can with JPEG, TIFF, and DNG. This ensures your images remain fully documented across modern file formats while keeping your film photography workflow consistent.

Embedded metadata includes image number, date and time, GPS coordinates, aperture, shutter speed, exposure program, exposure mode, exposure compensation, flash, metering mode, focal length, focus distance, subject distance range, lens make and model, lens serial number, lens specification, camera make and model, camera serial number, ISO speed rating, sensitivity type, and additional notes such as film stock, filters, and personal remarks.
