EXIF Manipulate
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.
