Good morning! πŸ™‚

Have you ever tried to remove EXIF information from the files in Photoshop? When you take photos, your camera automatically saves all the technical information about the photo – this is EXIF. To access EXIF in Photoshop, you can go to Β File -> File Info, then Camera Data category in the dialog box that opens:

What if you want to remove the EXIF? The information in Camera Data category is not editable. Here is the trick:

Go to Save for Web and Devices, File -> Save for Web & Devices:

On the right side of the screen, under Convert to sRGB, go to the submenu: Metadata and choose what you want to include with your file. To remove EXIF, just choose Copyright or None.

I hope this helps. πŸ™‚

Have a wonderful day!

  1. In Photoshop:
    1. Select the entire image. Copy this into memory.
    2. Create a new blank document.
    3. Paste the clipboard contents into the new document.
    4. Flatten the image.

    That’s it. All the EXIF/XMP is gone.
