Removing EXIF data

How does one remove exif data in Vista from an entire folder of jpegs at once?

I would have the folder organized as 'Details" (under view) and then select "type" on the top (if it's not there, right click and add type) then it will sort the exif from the RAW or jpeg images, and you can select all the exif files and delete them

Try using the free EXIFStripper app.
It works.

Thanks guys.

Luke, I'm not sure I'm following your advice correctly. exif data is embedded within each jpeg as part of the file, not separate files mixed in with a folder that can be selected and deleted. Is that what you meant?

John, I'll try your exifstripper as soon as I go download winzip again to open it!

Thanks!

I wasn't sure EXACTLY what you were referring too... with my last camera, when I opened a RAW file in ACR, it created a file w/all of the data, so in the folder I would have all of my RAW images, as well as these data files, so that's how you would get rid of them, but I guess we are talking about 2 different things!

Why would you want to remove EXIF in the first place? Its a good way to brand your images and a great way to keep track of the shooting parameters.

Richard, I know the benefits of exif, I would want to remove it from images that I place on my website. Obviously, those images would be copies so I would still be retaining the exif data on my original files. The date, time, and settings of an image are not necessarily things that one would want public.

Thanks john for sahring the exifstripper link.

Agree with Bryan, u still have the original exif on your originals.

This way if it reduces jpg filesize by 10 - 15 % , that's great for fast loading on a website ( 10-15 % faster loading and saving space on server).
