+

+exiftool image.jpg
+```

+Find info on all images in current directory.
+
+```bash
+exiftool -ext .png .
+```

+You can make this recurring with the -r switch.
+
+And overwrite all metadata:
+
+```bash
+exiftool -all= -overwrite_original -ext jpg .
+```
+(NB: This does not work on pdf data. See [here](pdf_erasure.md) for erasing all pdf data)

+exiftool -gps:all= *.jpg
+```

+```
