If I just changed the metadata properties it worked. I skipped the metadata.TrySave() all together since it didn’t work when I use the SetQuery method. I have only tried the code on jpeg images, and I didn’t have one with GPS coordinates in it, but in theory it should remove GPS coordinates as well. You can check them against the exif spec. Properties pertaining to the image characteristics such as width and height are skipped. It might work just as good by removing them, but with blanking the file don’t change header wise. The image is read and then loop over all exif properties, and then blank them out. I googled around, read the exif spec and came up with the code below. Since the image libraries in WPF is far superior to the ones in winforms I gave it a shot. He was developing a solution where the customer wanted all exif data to be removed from the images they provide on the web.

(For my final solution check out Exif continued.)Ī colleague of mine e-mailed me with a problem he had.
