Hello-hello!

This is a quick start guide for the ExifCleaner photo metadata remover:

1. Download and install the program, then run it. This giveaway is already activated, so you do not need to deal with serial numbers. (Do note that the regular installable version is highly recommended for you instead of the portable edition, which is for experienced users)
2. Add a few photos into the list, then click “Clean Setup”.
3. Configure cleaning options and hit the Clean button.
4. Your photos were cleaned of the metadata. Now you may safely upload them to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.

To figure out how to use the software, you can watch the following recorded screencasts on YouTube: no.1, no.2.

Thank you for your interest!

It's a little useless to make an application with just a single use. Like in this case, the ability to just delete EXIF data. Freeware alternatives allow you to delete, modify and add EXIF data.

For example http://www.photome.de/

SuperUtils is a Russian company. Direct quote from their changelog:
1.0 (September 24, 2009) The first public release of ExifCleaner.

From PhotoME website:
First version (v0.2) released on Thu Dec 21, 2006.

The software wrapper (in setup.exe) seems to be dated to yesterday and refused installing (portable version). After changing my PC's date to yesterday, it installed fine.
Since the app is already activated, using it is like a breeze. Comparing exif data of the original picture with the newly created picture_cleaned.jpg reveals that only part of the exif data is cleaned like make, camera model, picture mode and any comment. The non-private-technical data like aperture, flash, scene mode etc. is still there.
That works fine for me, so thumbs up!

on #11 Harrym, I would like to comment, You may think that there is no harm in leaving the info on a picture, but other people can find exactly where you live and whats in your house. Example, If you taken a picture of you house during the holidays, a thief is not looking at the people, he is looking whats in your home. Now couple that with you data you left on your Pics. Know they have the GPS coordinates of your home and whats inside. If that's not enough keep uploading your vacation photos year after year and they will figure out you got either a time share or go on vacation the same time every year.

Lets review, now they know what you have and when to steel it. Also A hacker can easily search your computer for photo, because most people put their photos in the shared folder.

That's not even the scary stuff, just imagine a peti-file looking at your children and being able to get the location of their school, where they play sports, who they hang out with and the times and dates of these activities. Once they have the info they can find and stalk them if they want. It is very important in today's age to keep your private lives private. Another example is #22 Terry, He found the location of an Item he was looking for, just by the photo.

Just a suggestion, you should never store your picture on your internal hard drive or online anyway, you should always put them on a portable external hard drive or other external device and lock it in your safe.
It may seem extreme but this is what is happening out there right now and why programs like these are becoming very popular. I for one are glad to see these program available, thank you GOTD!!!

$ 15.95? It is somehow a joke for a program that just clears the EXIF? IrfanView is free, cleans EXIF, and knows much, much more. :)
