it home reported on september 14 that technology media 9to5mac published a blog post yesterday (september 13), reporting that apple iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max users can take proraw photos in jpeg-xl format.

the source dug into the firmware versions for the iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max, and found in the proraw settings code that users can choose to save in jpeg-xl format.

iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max users support the following options

jpeg lossless (best compatibility)

jpeg-xl lossy compression

jpeg-xl lossless

apple also highlights how much storage space each format takes up:

1200 jpeg-xl lossy proraw format estimate for megapixels11 MB

1200 jpeg-xl lossless proraw format estimate of 10,000 pixels 18 MB

4800 jpeg-xl lossy proraw format estimate for megapixels20 MB

4800 jpeg-xl lossless proraw format estimate of 10,000 pixels46 MB

for comparison, this photo taken on an iphone 15 pro 4800 megapixel proraw photos take up approximately75 MB space.

although only iphone 16 pro models can take photos in jpeg-xl format, any apple device running ios 17 and above or macos 14 and above can view images in this format.

introduction to proraw

it home note: apple proraw combines information in the standard raw format and iphone image processing technology, allowing users to edit the exposure, color and white balance of photos more flexibly.

on iphone 12 pro and later pro models with ios 14.3 or later, users can capture photos in apple proraw format. proraw gives users more creative control when editing photos.

jpeg-xl format

the jpeg-xl format is a royalty-free bitmap file format that supports both lossy and lossless compression and is intended to outperform existing bitmap formats and become their universal replacement.
