Metadata of pictures can contain personal information about a user,as well as extra imagery which one might not be willing to share. For example, Photoshop generates a small preview of images which is hidden in the original image. If you simply crop the picture and resave it under the same file name, the preview thumbnail reflects not what your image currently looks like, but instead what the original image was like. Furthermore, EXIF data can end up displaying your geo location , postal code, etc (information which might have been added to the camera settings). This data can be misused by scammers from your pictures which may have been shared online.
Image MetaData Stripper is a portable software for Windows and Mac, which removes metadata from common image files of JPG or PNG formats. It does not alter the image quality, and can process multiple images very quickly. You can also automatically save a backup of the source image as well.
Just drag and drop picture(s) to the main interface or use the Open Image File Button. All selected photos will be instantly stripped of metadata (after being selected). You can also select to keep Image backups by selecting the Keep Image Backups option.

- Windows XP
- Windows Vista
