im pretty sure that most social media or blogging platforms automatically strip metadata when compressing files, but if you're concerned with that kind of data having the potential to be intercepted, that's valid. Suprised you didn't know your GPS was recorded in your photos, I have a Samsung phone and had to turn it on manually. It's actually super useful to have the GPS tag for personal use in a photo library manager, it gives you another way of searching through your photos.
Ok so I deleted a bunch of photos 3 years ago and recovered them using recuva and now the image metadata is messed up such as the photo date when it was taken. Is there a way to use Exiftool to modify it so that the date is set to when the photo was originally taken?
I have a ton of scanned analog photos shot with a single lens camera so I want to add camera, lens and focal length to all of them. There seems to be no batch function to do them all at once, right?
Not sure if this is still an issue for you, but the easy way to have it run on all your images would be to have them all in one folder. and instead of a filename at the end. Just use * or *.png/jpg etc. The asterisk applies to all specified files in a given directory.
Thanks a lot! I've installed ExifToolGUI along the Oliver Betz package. It's much more convenient as I can see the metadata just by clicking a file in the list. However, i can't seem to to find how to change that metadata from the GUI interface, which would allow to modify a tag for a bunch of selected files at once (I think...). Would you be so kind to provide a tutorial about this?
My properties thing I was erasing photo details in windows stopped working right. Windows 10 was unable to remove properties from the selected file warning. It was a picture I took. My question using your method here let me be able to remove detals and properties. Does it work for videos to.. If u have a video using Exiftool could u link it to me. Thanks im going to try the photo first.

cheers, found all the guides online weren't helpful but I was able to use the syntax you had and use it perfectly to remove metadata for any file.
I didn't understand anything, can I do that with cmd?, or what do I need?
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for!
Can the script be run on the directory rather than specific file?
