Remove exif data on export

[stinkykong]

I Photoshop, when I save for web, similar to exporting in Affinity Photo, it strips the exif data from the file. Is there a way to set up Affinity Photo to do this automatically on export so I don't have to do that manually?

On the More... part of the Export dialog you can unset the option "Embed Metadata", which should remove that information.

You can also create an Export Preset with the settings you want for image quality and format, and include that option in your Preset.

Can you do this in AD. I export all my image in AD. Also I'm guessing removing Metadata will reduce file size, correct?

You should be able to. Why not simply try it?

In psd save for web you can unclick metadata options. Can't do that in AD or AP for pngs or jpgs either.

As mentioned above, it's in the More... part of the Export dialog. Just click More... and you get this for a PNG, for example:

Just uncheck "Embed metadata".

uncheck "Embed metadata" worked.

Now what I want to do is batch a bunch of pngs and output to jpgs with medadata removed. But can't created a macro for export or in export persona.

Ideas?

In Photo, File > New Batch Job will do what you want. The "..." menu has the checkbox for Embed Metadata.

I suspect you put the strip metadata into new batch job when I wasn't looking ; )

Funny all except 1, Copper, image were reduced 50%, e.g., 140 png to 73kb jpg

Copper only went from 157 png to 141jpg.
