Retard question but how do I strip out the phone data? I can do some gay cropping but these things are appearing on lamp posts and other signs. Things that obviously can and will show info about me.
On PC:
ExifTool, use the command
exiftool -all:all= -r *.jpg to clear all metadata in all .jpg files that are in the same folder as the executable file.
On Android:
Scrambled EXIF, note that this uses the Share function, so if you want to save the cleared file you'll need a Share option that lets you do it, like with
Total Commander.
If you want to verify if the metadata is gone, you can either use
IrfanView or
XnView MP. I recommend XnView MP since it's more robust and user friendly.
I've tested both tools and in both cases all the metadata that got put in by my modded GCam app about my phone model, camera settings etc was completely removed by both ExifTool and Scrambled EXIF.
EDIT: Alternatively, once again use ExifTool, but this time with the command
exiftool *.jpg. This will list all EXIF data that's contained in all .jpg files in the same location as the executable.
Of course if you're familiar with the command line you'll know that
*.jpg is just a wildcard file selection of all .jpg files that are located in the same location as the executable since paths are relative, and that you can also just make a dedicated folder for images you want to process and use
images\* as your path, which will look into all files located in the "images" folder which is in the same folder as the executable with the backwards slash being only used under Windows. And of course you could make a Batch/Bash script that could simplify this process in a simple selection menu so that every time you needed to wipe and verify metadata in your files you could do so with just simple 1 2 selections instead of manually typing out all the commands.
But I digress, it's best to stick to simple analogies for anyone who's not that much of a hacker.
