Removing Metadata from Files

You may want to share your photos without including file information such as location, camera model, personal ratings etc. The Remove Metadata option allows you to strip out this information from selected images and maintain privacy.

Metadata can be removed from JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG and DNG files.

You can make copies of the images you want to remove the metadata from so you can maintain the version with the metadata intact.

To Remove Metadata from Selected Images:

  1. Click Tools | Metadata | Remove...
  2. If you do not want to remove EXIF and IPTC or the Embedded ACDSee Metadata, deselect accordingly.
  3. Click OK.

Metadata is permanently removed, but EXIF data specific to DNG files will be preserved.
