Great way to clear up space if you have LOTS of photos. 1,000 photos with an extra 10k per photo adds up to 10 megs.You can tell the app to only preview the changes it can make to your files, meaning it will go through and tell you how much it can shrink your images by removing the metadata and show you how much space will be saved if you actually go through with it.You might want to work on copies of the photos, not the originals. The updates happen as soon as you drag and drop, and there is no Undo.

nice application to clear meta data like white balance, unedited thumbnails and GPS information in geotagged photos. For me, the application ripped all the metadata out without altering the appearance of the image itself. JPEG & PNG Stripper is freeware, Windows only. Thanks for sharing this useful app.

BatchPurifier LITE is another freeware to remove metadata from JPEG images. It's a bit more fancy than JPEG & PNG Stripper, allowing to select exactly what hidden data types to remove (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, comments, and other metadata), and to save the cleaned files in a different folder.
