Dependency-free Node.js module that simply removes all EXIF metadata from a single image or a set of images.

## What can this do?

Given an image like this, which contains EXIF and other APP1 metadata:

![before](screenshots/exif_before.png)

This module will strip out the metadata from the image, with no loss in quality:

![after](screenshots/exif_after.png)

(JFIF resides within the APP0 segment of the image, which is currently out of the scope of this module)

## Installation

```sh

npm install exifremove

```

or, if you would like to use the CLI:

```sh

npm install -g exifremove-cli

```

## Usage

### Module

Example of module usage:

```js

const fs = require('fs');

const exifremove = require('exifremove');

const image1 = fs.readFileSync('image1.jpg');

const image2 = fs.readFileSync('image2.jpg');

// Remove just one image's Exif

let image = exifremove.remove(image1);

console.log(image); // 

// Remove multiple images' Exif

let images = exifremove.removeMultiple([image1, image2]);

console.log(images);

/*

[

  ,

  

]

*/

```

### CLI

```

exifremove [image0] ... [imageN]

Options:

  --version            Show version number                             [boolean]

  -v, --verbose        Print extra messages                              [count]

  --km, --keep-marker  Keeps the APP1 marker in the JPEG               [boolean]

  -h, --help           Show help                                       [boolean]

```
