Viewing and Removing EXIF DataWhen you take a photograph with your camera or phone, it records EXIF metadata, which you can later view in the image’s properties. A lot of this stuff is mundane and, in fact, you’re probably only concerned about the geolocation data.
You cannot stop EXIF metadata from being added to your photographs, though you can prevent geotagging by simply turning it off in your camera or camera app. If your photo already has getotagging—or if you want to remove all of its EXIF data—you can do so after the fact.
To view and remove EXIF data in Windows, first select the photo or photos you want to fix, right-click, and select “Properties.”
If you want to add metadata, you can select values and edit the “Details.” If you want to strip the metadata from your photos, however, you want to click “Remove Properties and Personal Information” at the bottom of the properties dialog.

On the Remove Properties dialog, you can create a copy of your photos with “all possible properties” removed. Alternatively, you can click “remove the following properties from this file” and then check the boxes next to each item you want to delete.

It’s easy to do this in Windows, but in OS X you’ll have to resort to third-party software if you want to easily and completely strip the metadata out of your photos. You can remove the location data from photos in Preview. Open your photo, select Tools > Show Inspector or press Command+I on your keyboard. Then, click the “GPS” tab, and “Remove Location Info” at the bottom.
