Published:

As great as Squoosh the image conversion tool is, the developers aren’t keen on preserving image metadata. Typically that isn’t a problem since you probably don’t want your home location lingering around the random pictures you upload. Thing is, there are times I need that EXIF.

To transfer the EXIF once you’re done, you can use exiftool, thanks to mws on the exiftool forum.
