Preserving this metadata during the conversion process is important for maintaining the integrity and provenance of the image.

Can I strip embedded file metadata when converting a PNG image to WEBP?

This can be useful for reducing the overall file size and optimizing the image for web delivery. By removing unnecessary metadata, you can further improve the performance and load times of your web pages.

To do that, set the “strip” parameter for the output task as true.
