Image Processing on Upload

[fortser]

i have an image-processing forum, so many heavy PNG images are being uploaded. I need a script that, at upload time, converts the images to JPEG at 80% quality, while also extracting technical data from the PNG file (similar to EXIF data, but in a slightly different, custom format), and publishes that data in the body of the post alongside the uploaded image.

I've already written a Python script on my local machine that converts the image to the format I need and saves the extracted text data to a .txt file next to the JPEG.

Please advise on the safest way, given the forum's architecture, to hook my script into the existing image-upload process.

I don't see a button for editing messages (((
if it's really difficult to implement such functionality, then of course I'm ready for a small payment. We'll make an agreement

@forster There is already a mod which I manage that converts/resizes images on upload (see  Automatic Attachment Rotation (and Resize)) but it doesn't extract any image data.

What image data do you want to extract and where/how do you want to use the data?
