How to Remove Metadata from Images

Each photo you take with your Digicam, embeds Metadata with it. In simple words, metadata is the extra information which is added to the image when you capture it. Digicams automatically add the data, such as the Camera Lens size, Date, etc. So, the other image viewers can read this data and have access to them. If you are going to publish those images on Internet, then first you should clear/remove the metadata from the image. To do so, here goes the tutorial. At the end, you will be having a clear image, without any type of metadata.

To remove metadata from your images, you will need a small utility called QuickFix which can be obtained freely from its official site. After getting it installed, follow these steps.

• Open QuickFix from the desktop icon.
• Now, Drag and Drop the images from your hard drive to the QuickFix Window. It will show you the list of the files.
• After adding all the files, click on Quick Fix Metadata button.
• In just seconds, it will remove the metadata from the images.

That’s it. Now, you have a clean copy of your image without any type of metadata, you can publish that image anywhere you like without showing the metadata.
