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.

End users of Wagtail (editors) are generally not aware of the existence of EXIF metadata in the images they upload and subsequently publish on the web. This makes it easy to inadvertently share sensitive information.
