The resulting file will still have the regular properties of a file (size, name, date created, etc).
The original file is renamed as image.jpg_original.Īlternatively, use the following command.
Instead, it creates a copy of it with the modified metadata, which can be useful for sharing online. The program does not modify the original file. This tells ExifTool to delete all exif (personally identifiable) tags from the image's metadata. You have two options to delete exif data from files. How to remove, edit or extract exif data using Exiftool? Deleting metadata If you have not removed metadata before uploading to a service, or if the service does not scrub metadata automatically, others may look at the metadata which may reveal information that you don't want to become available. Why is this important? Say for example, you took a picture at your home and uploaded it on the internet. There are a lot of other information (Megapixels, aperture, ISO, shutter speed, resolution time of the photo capture) embedded in the picture. The profile creator ID is Google, because I used the Google Camera app to take the image. The GPS data isn't shown because I chose not to include it, but you can tell from the image that it was taken on an ASUS device with the model number X00TD, which is the Zenfone Max Pro M1. They contain a ton of metadata from just one photo I took on vacation last year. Repeat the steps, add a space after "exiftool", and then drop the image onto the window before hitting Enter. This method can also be used for adding an image's path quickly. When you want to use it, open a command window, drag and drop the exiftool.exe to the window to run it from its location. Place it inside a folder that is a system path so that you may run it easier from the command prompt this mode allows you to use all features in the application, so this is what we will be using here. This will open a command window that displays the metadata of the file.Īn alternative way to use it is to rename it from exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe. Instead, drag and drop files or folders on it using Explorer. Download the archive it contains an executable. It is a command-line application (technically a script). You can edit or delete metadata with the help of programs like ExifTool by Phil Harvey. The data that you may see will differ, but you should know that metadata can contain personally identifiable data such as the latitude and longitude (GPS location), date created/modified, or the author name. Right-click on a file and select Properties > Details in Windows. Similarly, documents, videos or images that you create contain other forms of metadata. You may use ID3 tags for your music files for example. the camera make and model, aperture or ISO.īut it's not the only kind of metadata. Photographers use them to check various characteristics of a photo, e.g. These are used for all kinds of purposes.
