How to delete EXIF data from images on ftp server

  • Hi, I got a few 10000 images on my wordpress website. Uploaded from 2012 to now. For some reason, some of the images are 90 deg rotated. It looks like they have EXIF data and some of them don’t (the ones with EXIF data were uploaded with windows, the ones without with a mac).

    My question is: Is there a way to bulk delete EXIF data from images that are already uploaded? I got access through my ftp client.

    Thanks for your help.

    I believe the ImageMagick app will do that. You need more than FTP access to the server to install it there. If you don’t have terminal access you’d need to download the images locally and process them through the app installed on your own computer, then upload back to the server.

    Before doing that though, check to see if the ImageMagick PHP extension is installed on the server. If it is, you may be able to find a WP plugin that does the same thing.
