Gets or sets a value indicating whether the thumbnail should contain EXIF metadata copied from the original file.

## Syntax
 
```
$au.uploader({
    converters : [
        {
            //...other params...
            thumbnailCopyExif: false,
            //...other params...
        }
    ]
})
```

```
$au.uploader('uploaderID').converters().get(index).thumbnailCopyExif(value);
value = $au.uploader('uploaderID').converters().get(index).thumbnailCopyExif();
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: **Boolean**
 
If `true`, the EXIF information is copied from the original file. Otherwise, EXIF metadata will not be preserved.
 
Default value is **false**.

## Remarks
 
**Note** 
ActiveX/Java Uploader Express does not preserve EXIF metadata while creating thumbnails. See the [Upload Suite Editions](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/upload-suite-editions.htm.md) topic for details.
 
This property makes sense only if the [mode](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/JA_P_J_$au_converter_mode.htm.md) property has the `Thumbnail` value.
