I think if you email a photo on gmail it strips the meta data from the photo. I had this problem when I was trying to use the meta data to get the orientation.

- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoIt's good practice for any website that takes image uploads to strip unnecessary metadata, as people can inadvertently reveal their location (geotags) or identity (serial numbers etc) otherwise.
- mschuster91 7y agoFor websites in general yes but I do not want an e-mail client that, unbeknownst to me, manipulates data in transit. Time to pgp-sign the attachments on mails, too? :/
- mceachen 7y agoIt depends on how you email it. If you attach the file, it won't. If you drag the image into the body of the email, it will.
