Clean JPG EXIF Metadata with Shareware ExifCleaner for Windows
SUMMARY: ExifCleaner is one option for removing EXIF data in JPG images, such as inside photos taken by digital cameras.
EXIF metadata contained in JPG images contain a lot of information you may want kept private. For example, JPGs created by digital cameras may store information such as the camera make and model, exposure time, ISO speed, F-stop, and more. Some cameras may even store geolocation data telling where a photo was taken. If you distribute such files without removing the data, others with the right tools and knowledge can display this information.
If you want to remove EXIF metadata before distributing JPGs, one option is the shareware ExifCleaner for Windows. This software lets you open a batch of files, preview their contents if desired, and then remove EXIF metadata contained therein. You can have the software remove all metadata or just a subset of tags. New files can be generated with the cleaned data, or you can choose to overwrite the originals.
A 30-day trial of ExifCleaner can be downloaded from the following address; a portable version is available. Note that the trial only lets you process up to 7 files at a time.
