does AI delete EXIF and IPTC data?

  • When saving images from my website, the IPTC data (caption author etc.) are not anymore included. Only in Full size view they are still there. This leads me to the assumption that “Adaptive Images” removes this information from the image file. If this is the case – how can i preserve IPTC/Exif data even in lower resolutions?

    thanks

    Hello, Martin,

    Indeed the metadata are removed from the resized images, but this is due to the GD image library of PHP that we use, which strips the image metadata away. The GD is the most common image manipulation library and it is available in almost all PHP installations, so we have to rely on it because there is not really any other viable alternative. The problem here is that it does not give us any option to keep the metadata inside the resized images.

    So, if this is crucial, to your website, then I’m afraid there is technically nothing we can do to fix it. I only wish we could do more about that!

    Let me know if there is anything more I can do for you!

    Cheers,
    Takis
