What is EXIF data? Location and time stamp? How do you remove that from photos and videos?

For techies: would opening my photo in MS Paint and doing "save as png" remove exif data?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 1 points 2 days ago

From a quick test, that does seem to remove most data.

Instead of that, if you're going to through that process for just a few files, the Details tab in the file properties has a link at the bottom to strip all that stuff.
