How to remove EXIF data without recompressing the JPEG?

Question

I want to remove the EXIF information (including thumbnail, metadata, camera info... everything!) from JPEG files, but I don\'t want to recompress it, as recompressing the J

Answer 1

I'd propose jhead:

man jhead
jhead -purejpg image.jpg

Only 123Kb on debian/ubuntu, does not re-compress. Note though that it mutates the image, so copy the original if you need it.
