Removing metadata from photos

Metadata is extra information, in this case attached to a photo, which describes many things, some of which may be the location the photo was taken, specific information about the device, etc. If for some reason you don't want that information accessible publicly you can remove it.

In linux you can use exiftool -ALL= *.jpg for example to remove metadata from all jpg files in that folder. In windows you can go to the file properties and delete it, but save a copy for yourself because when you have that personal, specific information about the photo, I believe you could use that to give considerable evidence that the photo is in fact yours, if that is something you would be interested in protecting.

Just a random thought while I remove metadata from my photos that maybe not everyone who would want to know that, does, so hopefully that helps someone. Obviously you can search the internet for more information.
