Python: Remove Exif info from images

For me, gexiv2 works fine:

#!/usr/bin/python3

from gi.repository import GExiv2

exif = GExiv2.Metadata('8snmhp4sjd75vdr27gbadolc003i.jpg')
exif.clear_exif()
exif.clear_xmp()
exif.save_file()

See also Exif manipulation library for python, which you linked, but didn't read all answers ;)

You can try loading the image with the Python Image Lirbary (PIL) and then save it again to a different file. That should remove the meta data.

from PIL import Image

image = Image.open('image_file.jpeg')

# next 3 lines strip exif
data = list(image.getdata())
image_without_exif = Image.new(image.mode, image.size)
image_without_exif.putdata(data)

image_without_exif.save('image_file_without_exif.jpeg')
