Exif information get lost while preprocessing image on upload Android

I'm uploading image with preprocessing and image EXIF information gets lost, without preprocessing it is there, because of that I cannot rotate image to correct orientation.
This is my code

MediaManager.get()
        .upload(absolutePath)
        .preprocess(ImagePreprocessChain.limitDimensionsChain(CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE)
                .addStep(DimensionsValidator(CloudinaryConsts.MIN_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.MIN_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE))
                .saveWith(BitmapEncoder(BitmapEncoder.Format.WEBP, CloudinaryConsts.IMAGE_QUALITY)))
        .option("tags", "profile")
        .option("folder", CloudinaryConsts.PROFILE_PHOTOS_FOLDER)
        .option("public_id", profileUuid)
        .dispatch(App.instance)

without preprocess step EXIF is there

Can I keep EXIF somehow or could I do rotation before upload

Examples:
with preprocessing: http://res.cloudinary.com/dyz7kja60/image/upload/v1531752452/profile_photos/4f548657-0ee4-483c-b892-72872864c2ed
without preprocessing: http://res.cloudinary.com/dyz7kja60/image/upload/a_ignore/v1531753661/profile_photos/4f548657-0ee4-483c-b892-72872864c2ed

  Hi Roman,

  If you add any transformation to the image, Cloudinary strips the image metadata in order to optimize the image. You can use the flag "keep_iptc" when doing the transformation and it will keep the EXIF information.

  Here is more information about it: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_transformations#metadata_and_color_profiles_flags

  Hi Aditi
  
  Thank you for your reply.
  In my case EXIF information gets lost while I'm uploading image not downloading, it happens on this step:

  preprocess(ImagePreprocessChain.limitDimensionsChain(CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE)
                  .addStep(DimensionsValidator(CloudinaryConsts.MIN_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.MIN_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE, CloudinaryConsts.PREFERED_PHOTO_SIZE))
                  .saveWith(BitmapEncoder(BitmapEncoder.Format.WEBP, CloudinaryConsts.IMAGE_QUALITY)))

  Thanks, Roman for the information. At the moment we don't support preprocessing while retaining the EXIF data. I will raise a feature request for this feature.

  Regards,
  Aditi

  Hi Leonardo, 

  This feature has yet to be added to our roadmap. When we'll have more insight on this, we'll update with more information here on this thread.
