Is there a known bug in Webflow where uploading images with metadata (EXIF, IPTC, TIFF) results in the metadata being deleted when the website is published?
There is no known bug in Webflow where uploading images with metadata (EXIF, IPTC, TIFF) results in the metadata being deleted when the website is published. Webflow does not strip or modify the metadata of images during the upload and publishing process. Any metadata embedded in the image file, such as EXIF data or IPTC information, should remain intact.
However, it's important to note that when you upload an image to Webflow, the platform performs some optimization processes to ensure faster loading times and efficiency. These processes may involve compressing the image and removing unnecessary metadata to reduce the file size without significantly affecting the visual quality.
If preserving the image metadata is crucial for your website, one workaround is to manually update the image metadata after uploading it to the Webflow asset manager. You can use image editing software that allows you to modify the metadata, such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, before uploading the image to Webflow.
In summary, there is no known bug in Webflow that deletes image metadata during the publishing process. However, Webflow may optimize images by compressing them and removing unnecessary metadata to improve loading times and efficiency. If preserving image metadata is a requirement, consider modifying the metadata prior to uploading the images to Webflow.
