Does Smush remove just the EXIF or also the written metadata?

    I have not begun smushing them yet, but I have added a lot of metadata as far as content in each cartoon, as I supposed most graphic artists do!

    Since it was quite a long process, I want to make sure Smush will not remove the name and copyright, keywords, etc in each image.

    I notice you say: Note: it does not strip SEO metadata, but there are some concerns in support here. You may have changed it since then, which is why I want to confirm now.

    Thank you!

  • Hi @fallback2,

    Are you referring to data that you have entered for your image inside WP after it was uploaded?
    If that’s the case, those are not affected by Smush optimization.

    If you want to be sure I would suggest nothing you need gets lost I would suggest disabling “Automatically compress my images on upload” in Smush > Dashboard panel, upload a new image, and now Smush it manually from Media panel.
    If you’re happy with the results you can re-enable above-mentioned option and perform Bulk Smush as well.

    Cheers,
    Predrag

    Thank you. Am doing it manually now!

    Another question: is there a way to compare the Smushed image to the original? It looks like the original just disappears. (Though I know it could be reversed if I wanted. But I don’t see a way to reverse it one image at a time.)

    Follow-up:

    I see that people have written that you can NOT reverse Smushed images. Also, I can’t control the % it will smush.

    I need to reverse once in a while, so I can’t use this plugin, sorry.
