Is there a way to strip or clear exif data when encoding a file?

I am using the imagick driver. Is there a way to strip or clear exif data when encoding a file? I am trying to clear all exif data before saving the file to the Storage Driver.

This is not possible with the current range of features of this library. There is already an issue on this topic: https://github.com/Intervention/image/issues/1110

Until there is an official solution, I recommend implementing the function yourself with a custom modifier accessing the Imagick::class object directly.

Will calling the stripImage() using the the core()->native() strip the metadata. I created a modifier to call this before encoding the file as below. Will this work?

public function apply(ImageInterface $image): ImageInterface
{
    $imagick = $image->core()->native();

    $imagick->stripImage();
}
