How to Remove MetaData from Picture Properties (Camera Model, Date etc)

When you capture a picture using a Mobile or digital camera, your camera/mobile embeds information in to your picture. Normally Camera model, date (when picture was taken), GPS location (where picture was taken), ISO speed, focal length etc are embedded with every picture you take using your mobile or digital camera. If you edit that picture using any software such as Adobe Photoshop, this information is also embedded that you edited this picture using Adobe Photoshop. So, this can be little risky sharing picture with this kind of information. This information is called MetaData and here is a simple trick to remove MetaData from pictures.

MetaData Example

Following is a picture taken by a digital camera. I right clicked on the picture and gone to properties of the image, it shown all the information (MetaData) of the picture such as Data, Camera model, ISO speed etc
