Hello HC,

this is a command line program that I wrote for removing EXIF data from images. EXIF data is saved into your pictures by your digital camera, but also image editing software. With the EXIFRemover you can prepare images before publishing them, so they won't contain any information you don't want to publish.
Make sure that you don't end up like this guy, who was found by GPS data in an image he posted: http://gizmodo.com/5901430/these-breasts...n-fbi-case

Make this the official tool man I am thinking of making Java my next priority..
Btw Great work as always

Really nice program. I would like to talk with you about how you went around creating this.

Really nice program. I would like to talk with you about how you went around creating this.

I would also like to see how you went about creating this, or maybe a bit of source code?

I wouldn't mind putting my python skills to the test by recreating this in python.

[Deque]

Thanks for your feedback.
I always add a link for the source. In this case a download for a program & source bundle. Look at the end of the first post.

I used the apache sanselan library: https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging//

A brief library description:

This Pure-Java library reads and writes a variety of image formats, including fast parsing of image info (size, color space, icc profile, etc.) and metadata.

This library is pure Java. It's slow, consequently, but perfectly portable. It's easier to use than ImageIO/JAI/Toolkit (Sun/Java's image support), supports more formats (and supports them more correctly). It also provides easy access to metadata.

Make this the official tool man

Mh, I thought it is a bit too easy for official. It has only 234 lines of code. But alright. Maybe I add an ASCII art HC title to it today and move it to public.

Funny this was exactly what I was thinking of doing

I will see if I can find anything similar in Python and see if I can make something similar.

[Deque]

Alright. I added a title as you can see in the screenshot, and made it HC-Official.

[DELIJA]

nice thanks dude!

[vikler]

Nice tool. thanks=)
I usually use exiftool to remove data. maybe will be useful to other users:

Code:

exiftool -all= *.jpg

[BlackT]

Nice tool,I use windows to delete data

Right click on picture
select propertis
Details tab
At the bottom of the Details tab, click the "Remove Properties and Personal Information"
on the Remove Properties you can remove data.
