TinyPNG strips your metadata.
We keep it.
When TinyPNG compresses your images, it deletes every EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tag — titles, keywords, copyright, GPS, and camera data. MetaImage compresses images and preserves all metadata.

Why metadata matters when compressing
Stock photo contributors
Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and Getty Images require IPTC title, description, and keywords in every submission. If TinyPNG strips them, you have to re-add them manually.
E-commerce sellers
Shopify and Amazon product images are discovered partly via embedded metadata. Stripping EXIF before upload eliminates a search signal you spent time building.
Photographers
Copyright owner, creator credit, and usage rights are written in XMP. Once deleted by TinyPNG, you lose provenance if images are shared without attribution.
SEO professionals
Google Image Search considers IPTC title and description when indexing. Metadata-stripped images start with zero context and rank accordingly.
