SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Image files can contain hidden metadata such as GPS location, camera settings, and timestamps that can expose your privacy when you share photos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Metadata stripping: Removes all embedded metadata including EXIF, GPS, and camera information.
  • File and folder support: Cleans a single image file or recursively processes a directory of photos.
  • Use case: Before posting travel photos online, remove Location and camera details so only the visual content is shared.

Quick Start

Run the remove-photo-metadata skill on your photo path to strip all metadata from the image files before you share them.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove hidden GPS location and EXIF metadata from photos before sharing them online?▼

Yes, you can bulk remove EXIF metadata from an entire directory of photos recursively. The skill processes folders recursively, stripping all embedded metadata from every image file within the directory for bulk cleanup prior to publication.

What image metadata is actually exposed when I post travel photos without stripping it?▼

You need exiftool to strip image metadata, as the skill utilizes it to delete all metadata fields from your image files. No other external dependencies are required beyond having this command-line utility available in your environment.

Can I overwrite original image files when removing photo metadata or do I need to keep copies?▼

You can optionally overwrite original image files when removing photo metadata. The skill confirms the cleanup behavior and allows you to choose whether to overwrite the originals or keep copies during the metadata stripping process.

What is the best way to ensure camera details and timestamps are not visible in shared image files?▼

The best way to ensure camera details and timestamps are not visible is to strip all image metadata using exiftool before sharing. This deletes all embedded EXIF fields, preventing any hidden device or location information from being exposed.
