Quote:

"Image processing on your server is usually done by one of two PHP extensions - GD2 or IMagick. The latter is preferred, as it is more efficient, consumes less memory and is therefore better at processing large images. GD2 will always remove EXIF data from a resized image, regardless of the Remove EXIF Data option. You can check if IMagick is available on your site in System -> System Information -> PHP Information. Speak to your host if you do not see it listed." Source: JCE.
