Maintain your privacy online by removing metadata from photos before posting them.
Photos taken with phones or digital cameras contain metadata, which is important information such as information about the photographer, the date the photo was taken, the type of camera, dimensions, GPS location, and other information that is added by default to photos through various photography programs and can be exploited to track you on the Internet. Therefore, in this post, we will learn how to prevent this by deleting this data from photos before uploading them to the Internet.
ExifCleaner is a free and open source program for Windows, Linux and Mac, and through it you can delete metadata from images to prevent you from being tracked on the Internet, as we mentioned. Download the program from the link below the post, then run it and you will find a simple interface.
All you have to do is drag the images whose metadata you want to delete into the program, and the deletion process will be done automatically and quickly. What is special about the program is that it allows you to delete metadata for more than one image at once to save time and effort. The program supports different image extensions such as PNG, JPG and TIFF.
After completing the deletion process, you will get the result before and after deleting the metadata as shown in the picture.
This way you will prevent third parties from tracking you on the Internet and also reduce the size of the photos a little bit
