EXIF metadata can include camera details, timestamps, and GPS coordinates. While useful in some cases, this data can expose sensitive information (such as home address in a recipe photo). Many cameras also embed unnecessary data like thumbnails, which increase file size. Stripping such data reduces transfer/storage overhead and supports Wagtail’s sustainability goals.
