Strip

Remove metadata from the output image, including ICC profiles and Exif data.

Syntax​

CommandArgument Format
striptrue or false

Behavior​

  • Removes embedded metadata such as:
    • ICC color profiles
    • Exif data (e.g. camera info, GPS)
  • Reduces file size — especially useful for thumbnails or web delivery.
  • Has no effect on the visual content of the image.

By default, go-dims strips metadata automatically. If metadata stripping is enabled globally, this operation can be used to opt out by setting it to false.

Configuration Notes​

If you are using go-dims in contexts like Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems and want to preserve metadata globally:

  • Set DIMS_STRIP_METADATA to false
  • Use /strip/true explicitly in requests where metadata removal is desired
