How can I remove metadata from images?

The built-in File Explorer is quite good tool for removing metadata from images and photos.

File Explorer is a file management tool that comes with Windows 11/10, and it has a basic feature that helps you remove metadata from images. For JPEGs and PNGs, which are common image files, you can simply right-click on them to open the File Properties window, which will allow you to easily remove metadata such as the date of the shooting, the camera model, and the GPS information, among others. The whole process can be completed in just a few clicks, and the interface is designed to be very intuitive, so even users who are not very skilled in computer operation can easily get started.

Press Win + E to open File Explorer, navigate to the folder containing the target JPEG or PNG image, locate the editable target image, right-click on the image and select 'Properties', view the metadata in the 'Details' tab and click the 'Delete Properties' and Identities link at the bottom to remove metadata from images.

Select 'Create a copy of this file' and delete all possible properties and check all the fields and then click 'OK', a new file will be created. The copy will generate a new file. Finally, right-click on the new file and select Properties > Details to confirm that the metadata fields are empty or only the basic information is retained.
