Guides are stored as metadata in the file.

If using Save As/Save As a Copy, guide metadata is retained.

If using Export/Save for Web (Legacy) this metadata is removed.

Same for Export As and Generator.

With Photoshop scripts, it is possible to create paths or vector shapes or rasters for all guides.

I didn’t know you could save guides in JPEG!

I tested and confirmed what Stephen_A_Marsh found, and was able to clarify a few more things:

With Save for Web (Legacy), even selecting All Metadata does not include guides in a JPEG.

But that is consistent with how the Photoshop save/export commands work overall, so it’s worth pointing out/reminding: The reason the guides aren’t included in Save for Web even if All Metadata is selected, is because the commands intended for web/mobile export (such as Save for Web and Export As) never include metadata that is not needed for web/mobile delivery.

The web/mobile export commands always exclude information such as print resolution (ppi), guides, clipping paths, etc. The reason is that keeping out this metadata helps minimize file size, which is very important for web/mobile export.

If you want to save extra JPEG features such as ppi, guides, clipping paths, and such, you always want to go through File > Save As or File > Save a Copy. Those commands preserve maximum metadata.

Same here Conrad, but we did talk about workpaths being saved in JPG files in a SFTW thread a while back, so it kind of makes sense. I'm guessing that 'Save for Web' would strip paths and guides along with metadata.
