  • I'm not the one stripping the EXIF, and the options of the program are essentially: "remove all metadata and compress for delivery over the wire" or "do nothing".

    I do enjoy a bandwidth bill, and so we will continue to optimise for fewest bytes over the wire.

    In my tests on the more extreme end, a 30 MB image can be reduced to 17 MB. But that only happens when all metadata is stripped, and a webp is used instead of a jpeg. When a single image can be reduced by almost half... then we are always going to do this.

    The options I have:

    • Strip metadata
    • Strip metadata and compress
    • Strip metadata and compress and use webp where it is safe to

    There is no option that preserves metadata and yet compresses.
