By eliminating this data, you protect your visitors’ privacy and reduce the risk of exposing personal information inadvertently. The EXIF Data Remover is easy to install and seamlessly integrates with your media library, allowing you to focus on your content without worrying about hidden data leaks.

Key Features:

  • Automatic removal of EXIF data from all uploaded images.
  • No configuration (just install and activate).
  • Enhances user privacy and security by preventing data exposure.

Installation

  1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  2. Once activated, the plugin will start working on new image uploads. There are no user configured settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on my hosting provider?

It should as long as your host has the Imagick or GD libraries installed. I have tested it on a few different environments and had no issues.
