How To Strip EXIF Data

Published on August 7, 2010, by in linux.



How can I strip EXIF, GPS, and other metadata from photos in Linux?


Using a single command from the wonderful ImageMagick, you can strip all of that personal data from your photos before posting them to the web.



First, install ImageMagick:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick



Then simply run this command below.

Note: *.jpg will strip and entire directory of jpg images. You can also just specify one image if desired.

mogrify -strip *.jpg
