Jpeg images often contain hidden information about the image and it's creator, so called metadata tags. These tags are written to the files by digital cameras and software that manipulate the image. There are many different tags, such as Exif, IPTC & XMP.
Although mostly a useful compliment to the image, there are many reasons why you would want to remove these tags before publishing an image. Read here for a discussion on the topic.
This program allows you to easily delete the Exif tag and other metadata tags. By doing so before publishing an image you take an active step toward protecting your privacy on the Internet!
This program is mainly aimed at processing JPEG files, but also supports the following image formats: ARW, CR2, CRW, CIFF, CS1, DCP, DNG, EPS, EPSF, ERF, HDP, IND, INDD, INDT, JP2, JPX, JPEG, MEF, MIE, MOS, MPO, MRW, NEF, NRW, ORF, PEF, PS, PSD, PSB, RAF, RAW, RW2, RWL, SR2, SRW, THM, TIFF, VRD & WDP.
The following metadata tags and thumbnails can be removed: Exif, Exif GPS, XMP, IPTC, Photoshop, ICC, Jpeg Comment, Tiff IFD0, AFCP, CanonVRD, FotoStation, PhotoMechanic, MIE, Ducky & MakerNotes. Thumbnails are also removed and file dates can be reset. The only major format not supported at this moment is GeoTIFF.
Using Exif Tag Remover should be self explanatory. The wizard will guide you though a few simple steps and then start processing the images to remove the selected tags. You will get to chose where to put the cleaned images before starting. If you choose to overwrite the original files, make sure that you have backups somewhere else!
