Is there a tool for removing metadata?
the title says it all. is there a tool?
I installed ExifTool, but can't find a way to remove all at once with one command.
exiftool -all= inputfile
The latest version of exiftool supports most file formats.
Output:
- If the input file contained metadata, it removes the metadata and overwrites
inputfile
, but saves a copy of the original asinputfile_original
in the same folder. - If the input file did not contain metadata, it performs no changes.
There are options in ExifTool to delete the original file: -overwrite_original
and -overwrite_original_in_place
.
The Metadata anonymisation toolkit would do the trick for you. It has a GUI as well.
After Enabling the Universe Repository you can install it with:
sudo apt-get install mat
