EXIF Manipulate

Security covered Under active development 59 sites

Part of the Exif ecosystem · 4 projects

This module removes privacy-sensitive EXIF metadata, such as location data, from uploaded images. It aims to offer extension points for both stripping unwanted data and inserting new information, while preserving EXIF orientation data.

This module strips out EXIF metadata from images upon upload. Modern cameras and phones include data in the images that they produce that may be privacy-sensitive, like location. It is a common requirement to strip out such information. It is intended to extend this module with extension points so that it is possible to not only strip out unwanted data,
but also insert new data.

Note that the orientation information used by EXIF Orientation is left unaffected.

Requirements

This module requires the fileeye/pel PHP library. When installing the module using Composer (recommended), this will be installed automatically.

It is recommended to install EXIF orientation, which will rotate uploaded files according to the rotation information.

Installation

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further information, see Installing Drupal Modules.

Configuration

  1. Enable the module at Administration > Extend.
  2. Optionally, visit the conversion form at /admin/config/media/exif_manipulate; this will allow you to retroactively apply the module's logic on certain file system locations.
