Saat berbagi file, pastikan untuk menghapus metadata terkait. File gambar biasanya menyertakan data [Exif](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif). Foto terkadang bahkan menyertakan koordinat GPS dalam metadata file.

Anda *"tidak boleh** menggunakan teknik blur untuk menyamarkan [teks dalam gambar](https://bishopfox.com/blog/unredacter-tool-never-pixelation). If you want to redact text in an image, you should draw a box over the text.

Metadata yang dihapus, bergantung pada jenis file gambar:

- **JPEG**: Profil ICC, Exif, Sumber Daya Gambar Photoshop, dan metadata XMP/ExtendedXMP akan dihapus jika ada.
- **PNG**: Profil ICC, metadata Exif dan XMP akan dihapus jika ada.
- **WebP**: Profil ICC, Exif dan metadata XMP akan dihapus jika ada.

Setelah memproses gambar, ExifEraser memberi Anda laporan lengkap mengenai apa yang sesungguhnya dihapus dari tiap gambar.

Aplikasi ini menawarkan beberapa cara untuk menghapus metadata dari gambar. Yaitu:

- Anda dapat berbagi gambar dari aplikasi lain dengan ExifEraser.
- Melalui aplikasi itu sendiri, Anda dapat memilih satu gambar, beberapa gambar sekaligus, atau bahkan seluruh direktori.
- Aplikasi ini memiliki opsi "Kamera", yang menggunakan aplikasi kamera sistem operasi Anda untuk mengambil foto, dan kemudian menghapus metadata dari foto tersebut.
- Anda dapat menyeret foto dari aplikasi lain ke ExifEraser apabila keduanya terbuka dalam mode layar terbagi.
- Terakhir, Anda dapat menempelkan gambar dari clipboard Anda.

## Shortcuts (iOS & macOS)

On iOS and macOS, you can remove image metadata without using any third-party apps by creating a [**shortcut**](https://apps.apple.com/app/id915249334) for this purpose. Here is an example shortcut you can download to use as is:

[:material-tag-minus: Clean Image Metadata](https://icloud.com/shortcuts/fb774ddb7b5b4296871776c67ac0fff9 ""){.md-button}

You can also use it as a model for your own shortcut; just make sure that the **Preserve Metadata** option under the **Convert** action is unchecked. Once added, you can access the shortcut in the share sheet that appears when you select the :octicons-share-24: Share button. You can select multiple images and invoke the shortcut to remove their metadata all at once.

This shortcut removes metadata such as location, device model, lens model, and other camera information. It also sets the image creation date to the time the shortcut was used.

## ExifTool (CLI)

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![ExifTool logo](assets/img/data-redaction/exiftool.png){ align=right }

**ExifTool** is the original Perl library and command-line application for reading, writing, and editing meta information (Exif, IPTC, XMP, and more) in a wide variety of file formats (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PDF, RAW, and more).

It is often a component of other Exif removal applications and in most Linux distribution repositories.
