For techies: would opening my photo in MS Paint and doing “save as png” remove exif data?

From a quick test, that does seem to remove most data.

Instead of that, if you’re going to through that process for just a few files, the Details tab in the file properties has a link at the bottom to strip all that stuff.

Maybe but I wouldn’t trust MS to do the job even if it appeared true. Use a reputable open source tool made for the job if you can

Results are in. According to jimpl.com, saving as PNG in MS Paint does remove some exif data.

I don’t know what’s possible to be stored as exif data so I can’t tell you if this is everything. But here’s my result.

Interesting. Location is the big one though, which your test image didn’t have.
