# EXIF and metadata capture

On upload, EXIF is read (skipped for PNG, SVG and PDF/AI/PSD) and stored: camera make, model, capture date, lens model, creator tool, width and height, plus a derived orientation. Landscape above a 1.1 ratio, portrait below 0.9, otherwise square. The file extension and the orientation are also written as searchable tags.

Dimensions, a derived orientation and the camera make and model are read from the file and kept alongside the image.
