EXIFTool

This is tool is very helpful for when you want to post images on the web:


Linux users can use a tool called EXIFTool (which is available for Windows and OS X too, but is a command line tool, so we opted for the easier alternatives above). You can install it on Ubuntu by running the command:

 sudo apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl

Then, to clean your photos, just cd to the their folder and run:

 exiftool -all= *.jpg

It will make copies of all your photos for you, adding _original to the end of the original photos (with the personal information still intact).
There are a lot of other programs out there, but these are some of the easeist ways to delete any personal information that may be lingering in your photos. Keep in mind you’ll still need to do manual photo editing if your address or phone number is in the shot itself—this only removes data from the file on your computer, not the visible picture.
