Extended header data & Image for the web
When an image is uploaded on the platform, our system is checking a small part of the file header if the image is compliant with our requirements (size, pixels, dimensions...)
If the image has been modified through an editor (Photoshop, Illustrator...), the image may have extended data, which modifies the file headers. We're not reading the complete header in order to be able to process more data and more images at the same time.
It means that if the header is too large, and if we are not able to read the image specifications, we won't accept the file on our platform.
