Upload JPG with rest api is very slow

[gelveri]

Hello
I have a custom HTML page where I created a registration form that includes a file input for users to upload their CVs. I am using JavaScript to upload the files to a REST API (/api/method/upload_file) and save them as a file doctype.

Here’s the issue I’m facing: a PDF file of the same size (8 MB) can be uploaded very quickly (in about 1 second), whereas a JPG file of the same size (8 MB) takes significantly longer (around 21 seconds) to upload.

What could be the reason for this, and how can I resolve it?

async function File_Upload(file) {
  let file_data = new FormData();
  if (upload_file) {
      file_data.append('file', upload_file);
      file_data.append('doctype', 'mydoctype');
      file_data.append('docname', 'aaaaa');
      file_data.append('is_private', 1);
  }
  if (upload_file) {
      let token = await GetToken();
      if (upload_file.size > 10000000) {
          frappe.throw("File is very big");
      } else {
          let file_res = await fetch('/api/method/upload_file', {
              headers: {
                  'Authorization': `Token ${token.message}`
              },
              method: 'POST',
              body: file_data
          });

          if (!file_res.ok) {
              frappe.throw("some error message");
          }
          let data = await file_res.json();
      }
  }
  return {msg: 'error ', error_detail: 'error detail...'}
}

I solved the issue myself. I fixed it by disabling the ‘Strip EXIF tags from uploaded images’ setting under ‘System Settings.’ I guess it was wasting time trying to remove the EXIF tags.
