Google is testing finer controls for image quality and the inclusion of Exchangeable Image File Format (Exif) data across different image-saving modes on Snapseed, according to an Android Authority story credited to Akshay Gangwar. The report appears in Authority Insights, Android Authority’s coverage of exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage. If the change reaches a public release, it would let users set different options depending on whether they export, save, or batch-edit photos.

At present, Snapseed’s settings for these output paths are consolidated for all output modes. That means one choice governs both the quality of the image file and whether Exif metadata is retained. The testing suggests Google may separate those controls by workflow, though the features are not described as fully launched.

The renewed Snapseed photo editor launched on iOS and Android earlier this year. Since then, Google has rolled out several useful features. Recently, the app received support for adding custom lookup tables (LUTs) and nuanced color grading. Along with those already-launched updates, Google has also been testing options to launch the Snapseed camera quickly, create collages, and enable long-exposure photography.

For users, per-mode controls could make it easier to choose one behavior for quick saves, another for exports, and another for batch-editing without manually changing settings each time. The next development to watch is whether Google turns this testing into a visible Snapseed update and how it fits into the app’s ongoing feature rollout.
