re-compression after metadata-changes?

Post by zips »

Does XnView actually save/recompress the whole image-file while saving changed meta-data (IPTC/EXIF etc.) ???

Or does it write/edit metadata without opening/resaving the jpg-files?

Thank you for your answer. I could not find this information in any corner of help or by searching this forum.

If you are in browser mode, it's lossless
