How can I ‘quick export as a PNG’ without including resolution information or a color profile?

Question

Hello!

I used Photoshop 2020 and recently upgraded to 2024. With 2020, when I ‘quick export as PNG,’ it automatically exported the PNG without resolution information, as you can see in the picture. However, now with 2024, it includes the resolution information, which needs to be omitted for my work procedure.

I've tried everything I could, including Settings > General > Export > Quick Export Metadata > None, with no luck.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me figure this out. Thank you!

You are correct, I had forgotten that things have changed in 2024:

Photoshop 2024 (25.4.0)

You might need to use Export > Save for Web (Legacy), or otherwise, third-party software such as ExifTool can batch remove the ICC and resolution values.

I appreciate your help with this matter!

That screenshot appears to be correct, there is no PPI or ICC profile.

Please upload an actual image for investigation if you think otherwise.

Edit: I can see that the attached image is more legible than the inline image on my phone, there does appear to be resolution info.
