JPG Cleaner
JPG Cleaner is a software for Windows that can be used to remove any extraneous data from JPG images. JPG is an image format that is very common in use because it can reduce the file size of an image without sacrificing much quality if any quality at all, which is why it is very commonly used on websites. JPG Cleaner can work on these images by removing the extraneous data inside of the file such as when it was created. This will also make the image file size a little bit smaller and help with your privacy.
Features
What is unique with this program is that it has compatibility that goes all the way back to Windows 95. Because of this, the program is super lightweight and does not take up much storage space or computer resources. You can be sure that the program is safe because of its really long track record. The interface is really simple because it only has a couple of functions. You can use it to clean up images individually or use it in a batch process to clean many images at one time. It has not been updated in a long time (since 2006), but it still functions as intended so it does not need to be updated.
Pros and Cons
While JPG cleaner does exactly what it sounds like, it is missing additional features, so it is a very specific program.
