BatchPurifier LITE? is a free tool for Windows to remove hidden metadata from JPEG picture files in batch.
BatchPurifier LITE? is the freeware edition of BatchPurifier?. (which supports 25 file types , including Microsoft Office® Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, OpenOffice?, and PDF)
BatchPurifier LITE? is able to thoroughly remove JPEG metadata, unlike the integral metadata remover of Windows 10. BatchPurifier LITE? supports the removal of the following metadata types:
Screenshot of BatchPurifier LITE
Exif data (including thumbnail & geotag)
IPTC data
XMP data
JPEG comments
ICC profile
Adobe APP14 tag
JFIF header
Other hidden data
This metadata often contains information such as the exact date and time the photograph was taken, the digital camera manufacturer, model, and unique serial number, the camera settings, and the location (if GPS-enabled camera or mobile phone was used). Furthermore, a thumbnail of the image often exist in the JPEG file, and many image manipulation software fail to update this thumbnail when the original image is modified. So even if the image was cropped, or otherwise modified to hide certain parts in it, the removed parts may still be visible in the thumbnail.
With BatchPurifier LITE? you can prevent the unintentional exposure of this information that may compromise your privacy and cause you embarrassment.
BatchPurifier LITE? keeps the JPEG image intact and does not degrade its quality.
