  • exifstrip

  • ImageOptim

    GUI image optimizer for Mac

  • I see a few people using this to scrub metadata, which is great. If you're on Mac and don't mind having a UI, there's a tool I've been using for all my images that both scrubs metadata and uses the latest compression techniques. Supports most image formats too: https://imageoptim.com/mac

    Not affiliated, just love it.
