Hello, Reinelle. I did not notice a word in your answer and in recommended plagins description about keeping IPTC metadata. The task is and the question was not only about image downsize and compatibility with Rank Math
Hello,
By default, WordPress keeps the IPTC metadata when you upload the images in the Media Library. However, for the optimization plugins, you will have to check with the support of those plugins as they will be in a better position to provide you with all the details about how they handle the IPTC metadata.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need any other assistance.
Thanks.
