Title: Removing info from photos you post online?
Post by: TNY on March 07, 2013, 02:19 am
Hi lads, what is the best but simple drop and click program i can download for free  onto my laptop that removes all META and GPS info that is stored on android phones these days and just overwrites the original photo?

there is an app called Pixelgarde at Google Play Store, it lets you remove geotags and exif metadata from pictures single or in batches, have not tried it yet, but i know people having good experience with it.

you can also just pull up the pic, take a screen shot of it and then delete the original.  the screen shot will have no exif data.

not what you want.  you want exiftool  its way simple. command line. 
simply:
cd /folder/pictures/
exiftool -all= *.jpg

now every jpg in that folder has been cleaned, and it makes a .original.copy

just really does not get easier for cleaning one or 100 images.
and you can get creative and instead of cleaning the info learn the program a little more and you can EDIT the info, like make gps data the DEA hq or something :)
