An EXIF stripper is a tool or utility used to remove EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata from image files — most commonly from JPEGs, but also from TIFFs, PNGs, and some RAW formats.


✅ What EXIF Data Includes:

  • Camera make and model

  • Date and time photo was taken

  • GPS location (if geotagging was on)

  • Exposure settings (ISO, shutter speed, aperture)

  • Software used to edit the image


🔒 Why Strip EXIF Data?

  • Privacy (e.g., removing GPS location before sharing online)

  • File size reduction (slightly smaller files)

  • Anonymity (removes editing and device fingerprints)

  • Clean presentation (for use on websites or portfolios)


🛠 How to Strip EXIF Data

1. Online Tools

2. Desktop Tools

  • Windows:

    • Right-click image → Properties → Details → "Remove Properties and Personal Information"

  • macOS:

    • Preview app → Export image → “Remove location info”

  • Linux:

    • Use exiftool or mat2 (Metadata Anonymization Toolkit)

3. Command-Line Tools

  • exiftool (cross-platform)

    exiftool -all= yourimage.jpg
    
  • ImageMagick

    convert yourimage.jpg -strip clean.jpg
    
  • mat2 (Linux-based)

    mat2 yourimage.jpg
    

⚠️ Note

Some platforms (like Instagram or Facebook) automatically strip EXIF data upon upload. Others (like Google Photos) may retain it.


Would you like me to strip EXIF from an image you upload? Or recommend the best tool for your platform (Windows/macOS/Linux)?
