This metadata can include: the location the photo was taken the time the photo was taken detailed information about your camera / phone Facebook (and most other online advertisers) make money by tracking and selling your personal information. But you should be in control of what information you share with the world. Enter the exif delete tool. This is a simple Python script that I use to strip all of the metadata from my photos before I share them online. It is lightweight and easy-to-use. If you are like me, you take a lot of photos, and this tool will help protect your privacy. Installation This script will work with Python v3.9 to v3.13 and only requires one third-party library: PIL . You can install this tool using PyPI to grab the code and install it online by doing: pip install exif delete Or you can install from this repo locally: pip install -e . Usage This is a simple commandline tool. Just pass the name of the image file(s) you want to strip to the script, and it will do the rest: python exif delete.py /path/to/my/image.jpg python exif delete.py image1.jpg image2.png image3.gif python exif delete.py /path/to/ /my/images/ .jpg By default, the script will create a new image file with \" safe\" appended to the file name. For instance, this: /full/path/to/image1234.jpg will become: /full/path/to/image1234 safe.jpg However, if you want to just over-write the original image file by stripping all the EXIF data fro","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/john-science","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/john-science/exif_delete/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
