Strip privacy metadata without wrecking your colors.

New opt-out setting (Tools → Exifix → Settings, on by default): Preserve ICC color profiles when stripping. Exifix now removes EXIF/IPTC/XMP while keeping the embedded color profile, so wide-gamut images render correctly instead of shifting dull/desaturated.

  • exiftool: -all= -tagsFromFile @ -icc_profile:all — delete everything, copy the profile back.
  • Imagick: captures the ICC profile before stripImage() and re-attaches it.
  • GD fallback: cannot preserve profiles (re-encoding drops them) — uncheck the box if you specifically want ICC gone, or rely on Imagick/exiftool.

For typical sRGB web images this makes no visible difference; it matters for wide-gamut (Display P3 / Adobe RGB) photos.

Install: download exifix-0.4.0.zip → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
