With the opinion of jkdfahlkdhfjgakdhfg considering the quality being inferior simply because the md5 does not match with the original, I'll dismiss it completely. I also won't bother with duplicate detection reason.

On to other EXIF data: most of the time, the images are being cleaned and therefore, such EXIF data are also goner. Additionally, many scanner does not embed such data in the first place (unlike cameras).

The only valid argument left would be the ICC color profiling.
Just curious, what's the pros of stripping exif? Saving space? Or in other worlds, what's the downside of *not* stripping exif?

I'm asking so because the sole reason we started to do that is because of animepaper, and it's gone already.

Non-matching md5 obviously doesn't mean it's inferior, but wouldn't it be nice to have identical file if it doesn't do harm?
