Remove Exif data from image in java?

Question

What is the simplest way to remove exif data from an image and then move it to another folder? Same location, just in a folder. That way there are original copies.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think an easy way to do this would be to read it as an Image and then write it to the new folder using ImageIO.read(...) and ImageIO.write(...). I don't think Images have metadata. If that doesn't work, you could write it as a bmp, then reread it and write it again as a jpeg.
