How to sanitize an image on OSX

  1. Install imagemagick with homebrew : brew install imagemagick

  2. Use mogrify to strip EXIF data and comments: mogrify -strip ./image.jpg

  3. Check for OSX wherefroms: mdls ./image.jpg

  4. If there are any, delete them; they are nasty: xattr -c ./image.jpg
