What metadata survives the conversion
Most embedded metadata (EXIF for images, ID3 for audio, etc.) is preservable across the conversion, but PDF to Images Converter defaults to stripping it for privacy. If you specifically need to keep metadata, there's a toggle.
Stripped metadata can include: GPS location, camera serial number, edit history, original filename, capture time. Strip by default unless you have a reason to keep it.
