      Very good find man… Usually I have to use an expensive image editing tool when ’stealing’ and modifying the properties of the pictures from the web :)

      to Nihar: metadata can pose privacy risk. See the Cat Schwartz case in this article.

      Exif Tag Remover and BatchPurifier LITE are also free metadata strippers. Both of them allow you to choose exactly what metadata types to remove.
