SharePoint 2013 EXIF data lost from jpg image files
- Oct 23, 2020
EXIF data (10/23/2020) is retained in jpg files in SharePoint 2013.
I have tested SharePoint 2013 with EXIF data from first principals:
- first manually uploading jpg file to SharePoint and then downloading it, and it retains the EXIF data
- using CSOM code to upload the file and then manually down load it, and it retains the EXIF data
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(context, doclibRelativeUrl, fs, true);
I used https://www.conversion-tool.com/exifreader to check for the metadata .
Looks like our issue may be related to our 3rd party software, or the code used to upload the images. My apologies for wasting everyone's time here.

For SharePoint Online the functionality was lost because of changes in the underlying OS. Looks like something similar has happened on your on-premise SharePoint 2013 farm.
One possible way forward for your SharePoint 2013 environment is to upload the images using tools that supports EXIF metadata extraction.
e.g. https://www.slimapplications.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Example-Bing-map-SharePoint.png
Another way forward is develop a custom solution.
did you recently upgrade the OS?
