Save as JPG or PNG can't be uploaded to certain sites (imgur, reddit)

I've found posts about this on other forums but couldn't seem to find the solution.

Saving any image as png or jpg (haven't tested other formats) will result in a file that I can not upload to imgur or reddit or facebook posts/comments. Tried it in Chrome and Safari. Uploading the file to google drive and downloading it will solve the issue, but this is not a solution. 

 

Reddit error: Invalid according to Policy: Policy Condition failed: ["eq", "$x-amz-meta-ext", ""]

Imgur error: Sorry, you can’t upload that type of file. Learn more.

(Obviously, I was not exceeding file size limits, whatsoever.)

 

Anyone knows whats going on?

    Have you tried saving with no metadata or color profile—set Metadata to None in the Export As or Save for Web (Legacy) dialog?

    It worked indeed but I don't know why does it have to be overcomplicated. Save as used to work perfectly fine and seems more simple to use and faster. Then some change like this comes up, causing me (among who knows how many people) an extra 30min work to find the solution and nervousness.

    I can only guess that there is something in your file’s metadata that violates Reddit’s upload policy—maybe something related to copyright?
