About Optimizing Images
In Django projects, you can remove the EXIF information from a photo by resaving the image with Pillow (or PIL):
from PIL import Image
with open('image.jpg', 'rb') as fp:
image = Image.open(fp)
# next 3 lines strip the EXIF
data = list(image.getdata())
image_without_exif = Image.new(image.mode, image.size)
image_without_exif.putdata(data)
# save new image
image_without_exif.save('image_without_exif.jpg')
That makes the images much smaller in size, but keeps the quality good.
