I just resize a 60 jpg images with my bash script (see the attachment).

I open such an image and see the image info: there I can see the EXIF 
information out there: 
Profile-exif: 34883 bytes

and after thet follows a lot of numbers in hexadecimal format.

I don't know about EXIF information, what it is, but I suggest that you 
try my script and resize your pictures (copy them in another directory 
& there resize them!) and after that open such an image with display 
command and see the image info (right click / menu / Image Info)!
