Preserve image EXIF data

    Hi,

    I am uploading images and need to pull EXIF time and location data from the pictures. I have, Preserve my image EXIF data selected. However, I am resizing the full size image. I think this is why the EXIF data is being removed. Is this part of the Smush process or a wordpress issue?

    I tried adding: add_filter (‘image_strip_meta’, false); To my functions.php file but this did not help.

    Here is the basic link about that filter.
    https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/hooks/image_strip_meta/

    If I do not resize the image in Smush it keeps the EXIF data.

    Any ideas that would allow the image to be resizes while keeping EXIF data?

    Thank you!

  • Hey @cbw5007,

    I need to confirm this and update you about it, It is probably because of resizing as per the steps you’ve mentioned. But I still need to confirm.

    Thanks, Umesh

    Umesh,

    That would be great!

    To check if EXIF data is preserved after a picture upload you can just paste the image url into this site. There will typically be a long list of data if it is preserved.

    https://exifdata.com/

    I would be open to modifying Smush files or WordPress files.

    Thank you,

    Hello @cbw5007,

    I’m really sorry for the huge delay here, somehow we’ve missed this topic.
    We’ve made some more tests with Umesh and confirmed that there’s an issue on how WP function is used for resizing.
    This is going to be fixed in a future release, so please keep an eye for any updates. ??

    Warm regards,
    Dimitris
