Thanks to Bill for mentioning the lossless operation - I usually work from TIFF files when I convert, so I don't have the issue of lossy vs lossless since I'm not rewriting a jpg. WordPress preserves EXIF information in full size images loaded to your website. This is easier than it sounds, the steps are pretty obvious once you are in thumbnail view with the items selected and choose File.Īlso, because it overwrites the original file, you may want to use a copy if you ever want the EXIF again. EXIF metadata is information about the image recorded directly from the camera for example, the exposure time and the date the photo was taken. Click Custom in the bottom of the menu that pops up, and unclick EXIF and IPTC. Then go to the File menu (not the Options as you would for a single image in the main Irfanview window), then select JPG Lossless Operations, then Lossless Transformations with Selected Thumbs. With the click of a button, you can purge the camera, location or other technical data from a batch of images embedded by the device or the photo-editing software. EXIF-removal tools allow you to wipe out metadata from multiple files at once. Mac users can find similar software, like Exif Remover and other data-stripping tools available around the web. Thus it is a real timesaver if you have a lot of photos to do. For Mac users, you can obliterate EXIF data by previewing and selecting inspector from the tools menu. BatchPurifier for Windows is one such app.

When the thumbnails open, select the images for stripping (CTRL-A selects them all). EasyBatch for Mac OS is a very fast and more powerful app that quickly does batch edits for not only editing EXIF data, but it can also do things like resize a photo, rotate it, put a watermark on it, compress, convert or rename 1,000s of files at once. If you want to do it in a batch, you need to open the thumbnail view (type "T" while in the main Irfanview window and select a folder which has the images you want to strip the info from).

However, his method isn't the way to do it in batch. Bill is right that you should use the lossless jpg operation.
