Hi all
I am new to these forums and would like to add a picture to my account profile. it would be a picture from google images saved to my desktop so do i need to remove Meta data and if so what its the easiest way to do this?
-
Anytime i have read anything about Meta data it is always been when someone has taken a picture from a camera, i wasn't to sure how safe it was to just download an image from clearnet and upload to the forum.
If in doubt, don't do it.

Never post pictures on the SR without removing meta data, if you are using a MAC buy a program that will make your pictures private and if you are using a PC use one of the online programs to do it (that is the easy way)

Its not for SR its for SR forum, i am on windows i take it i still need to erase meta data, any recommended programs?

Hello, as you will see I have an awesome profile picture. I will now walk you threw this.
Step one, get a program to delete the META DATA. I use BatchPurifier. Google it, it's clearnet so be careful. Install it.
Open the program you have selected and either browse for the file, or drag and drop the picture into the interface.
Based on the program you chose you may now be given several options on what data you wish to remove, remove it all!
When you are done editing, save the newly edited photo and right click on it, go to properties, then select details. If no data shows up, you did good. Then just upload the photo to SR ;)
