Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Strip Image Metadata for JPG and WEBP
If you aren't sure, after installing the plugin, in WP Admin navigate to: Settings > Strip Image Metadata Under "Plugin Information" it will show if the required extension is active on the site or not and it the minimum required version is met. If a compatible extension is not found, try asking your webhost or system administrator if either one can be enabled.
Yes, there is a bulk action included. In WP Admin navigate to the Media library and make sure you are using the List view. Select which images you'd like to strip metadata from and then select the "WP Strip Image Metadata" bulk action. This can be a resource intensive process, so please only select a handful of images at one time for processing.
Yes, if metadata stripping is enabled then all generated subsizes, depending on Size Limit, at the time of upload will have the metadate removed. The included bulk action will also remove metadata from all subsizes as well, depending on Size Limit.
In WP Admin, from your Media library you can select an image and click "Edit" (in List view) or "Edit more details" (in Grid view). On the Edit page for the image, there will be an admin notice at the top with the "expand for image EXIF data" text. The Top Line shows, without expansion, the number of bytes for the different file sizes. This should work for jpg/jpeg, avif and webp files, but other image types may not display EXIF info. You might try uploading a test image with the "Image Metadata Stripping" setting disabled, and then the same image again with the setting enabled to view the difference. Here are some good sample images for testing: https://github.com/ianare/exif-samples/tree/master/jpg/gps Popular image editing applications such as Photoshop or Affinity Photo also have the capability to inspect image metadata which can prove useful. On the Commandline Exiftool or Exiv2 provide very good information.
No, removing image metadata is permanent. If you would like the metadata kept, you should keep an offsite backup copy of your images.
By default the plugin will process jpg/jpeg, avif and webp files.
Image Metadata Stripping: whether image metadata is stripped from new uploads. Preserve ICC Color Profile: whether to keep image color information which is helpful to some applications. Preserve Image Orientation: whether to keep image orientation which can help rotate images as intended. Set / Keep Copyright: whether to set / change or keep Copyright Information based on Template Files. Size Limit: Only strip Images Files which width is SMALLER than size Limit. Log Errors: whether to log error output which can be helpful for debugging purposes.
