Image Meta Data is lost after Guetzli compression

Open sunatthegilddotcom opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

After Image is compressed, the metadata is lost, especially Origin, Camera and Advanced Photo are missed. Is there a flag I need to set to preserve the meta data either in building the code or compressing the images? I am using the latest code. Just build the app today.

Thank you very much!

A flag to preserve EXIF data is definitely one I'd like in a future release of guetzli. I didn't realise it stripped EXIF until now, but have verified that it does. The option to maintain EXIF would be a definite improvement.

I think I could make an automatic procedure to restore your data EXIF, even recursively, see here https://www.patreon.com/guetzli
