From the author
atwellpubWe built Clean Image Metadata to solve a real problem we saw across the network: user-uploaded images often carry sensitive metadata like GPS coordinates, camera settings, and device information that most sites do not need. This WordPress plugin quietly strips all of that data during upload so you can let your community share images without worrying about unintended privacy leaks. If you run a WordPress site that accepts uploads, this is for you.
