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.

Good to hear the problem is solved. SharePoint does not alter existing properties in images like EXIF.
FYI: there are also tools that allow you to view the EXIF (and other metadata formats) directly in SharePoint. See e.g. here or here
