Preserve metadata

The Image Editing API allows you to choose whether metadata embedded in the original image should be preserved in the output.

To enable this, set the parameter preserveMetadata to:

• never (default): all metadata will be stripped from the output image

• xmp: XMP metadata will be preserved

• exifSubset : Copyright and UserComment tags will be preserved from EXIF metadata

Other types of metadata, such as IPTC, will be removed regardless of the setting.

Use this setting if you want to retain XMP or EXIF metadata across processing workflows.
