Before posting an image on the Internet I had the need to remove the EXIF data which might contain location and other information which should not be shared, because it was a photo made with an iPhone.
Tip: If you already know you want to remove location from a photo, in the share panel click
Optionsbefore selecting “AirDrop” and you have the option to disable sending the location data, and other metadata.
I found a simple way to do so on a Mac.
The simplest way is to use ImageOptim. Just add the image there; it will remove all the EXIF data.
Otherwise if you prefer the command line, or you want a tool that integrates with your scripts, install exiv2:
brew install exiv2Then use exiv2 pr to list the EXIF data of an image:
exiv2 pr <filename>And use exiv2 rm to remove the EXIF data:
exiv2 rm <filename>
