Current problem

Currently its not possible to compress the image and keep control over the exif data.

Preferred solution

A parameter to keep or remove the exif from the new compressed image like:

  const { path } = await FileCompressor.compressImage({
    mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
    keepExif: false,
    path: 'content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/msf%3A1000000485',
    quality: 0.7,
  });

Hey Stephan, thank you for your request! I will take a look at it at the weekend.

Currently its not possible to compress the image and keep control over the exif data.

Does this problem exist on Android and iOS?

[stephan-fischer]

I mean, on both platform it would be nice to decide to strip or not to strip the metadata 😊 Currently i dont know the default behavior. Maybe this should be documented.

I've just had a look and it should be possible. However, I'm leaving this feature request open for now as I need to work on some other projects first.
