ExifCleaner is an application dedicated to those working with images quite often. As the name might suggest, it deals with EXIF data and deleting it from various image files. EXIF, or Exchangeable Image File Format information, is attached to all images and contains data relating to the camera a certain picture was shot with, location or coordinates to the place it was taken together with many other related aspects. This attached information could be potentially dangerous in the wrong hands. This is why ExifCleaner could be what you need in order to protect all your image-related information.

Right from the start, you'll notice this application is pretty basic. There really aren't many options to chose from. ExifCleaner is easy to operate and efficient, too. All you have to do is load up your images and the program will take care of the rest. You can deal with your image EXIF data by loading each image at a time or simply by adding a batch of them. It doesn't really matter.

The application behaves well in both scenarios. Aside from loading your images and processing them, there really isn't anything else you could do. The app supports popular image formats such as PNG, JPG and TIFF, and it also has a dark mode available that kicks into action depending on your implemented eye-strain OS options.

The most important reason has to do with privacy. If someone were to have your photos, the location embedded into your picture information could point towards where you're living, where you've been traveling, information about your camera, and so on. While in most cases little harm could actually befall you, you should always be careful. It's simply better to be cautious with such sensitive information. Using ExifCleaner does not require any computer knowledge. It is also free, which means you literally have no excuse to avoid using it. Your privacy is important, and with this tool you can protect it just a little more.

ExifCleaner is an application that individuals working with pictures should consider getting. It's not difficult to use, and it works pretty well. It does what it advertises and could help in protecting your privacy more. Deleting EXIF information should be a priority for those sharing their images in the online environment, a place where anybody could have access to one's uploaded images.

What's new in ExifCleaner 3.6.0:

  • Security:
  • Fix for XSS and Electron reverse shell vulnerabilities by sanitizing exiftool HTML output in the UI. To take advantage of this, an attacker would have had to write image metadata containing malicious script code to a file that you then download and run through ExifCleaner. Proofs of concept:
