 * I use Adobe Bridge to add IPTC metadata in my photos . but when i trying to upload
   on nextgen automatically remove all the metadata on photos, why this happen?

 * [@b_dark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/b_dark/) – Are you using the “Automatically
   resize images after upload” option under Gallery > Other Options > Image Options?

 * [@b_dark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/b_dark/) – Unfortunately that option
   can strip out the EXIF/IPTC details from the image if it is set to Yes. It is
   a Legacy option, and one that we generally do not recommend using but keep because
   it was part of the NextGEN Legacy functionality.
 * I would recommend simply optimizing the images for your site (especially in size)
   before uploading this should save you the major inconveniences of losing the 
   EXIF/IPTC data you are experiencing now.
