When converting Png to Webp, the 'comment' or exif data is lost.
I understand they use different ways of storing exif data but surely there's a way to just convert it to Webp's way of doing it, its just a bunch of comment data after all.

Re: Convert PNG to WEBP loses EXIF Data
it's not exif metadata, but extra strings. These datas are not kept...

Ah, is there a chance you'd add support for converting these extra strings to be carried over to PNG or other? Or if there's another way.

Re: Convert PNG to WEBP loses EXIF Data
I have a same problem.. xnview shows exif data... conversion to webp with this tool loses it all..
if its not exif data then why does xnview show it as exif data in that tab?
eitherway webp conversion is losing that its kinda sad as what is point in converting to webp if its going to lose data.. I'm trying to preserve data but get a lower file size for quality/filesize ratio
losing the metadata is a bit suck.. anything doable on this?
