Metadata Stripping via Proton Mail

re written with ai to protect typing fingerprint

Proton Mail offers a straightforward method for stripping metadata from images. Simply right-click to copy your desired image (alternatively, use Ctrl+C), navigate to the 'new message' section within your Proton Mail inbox, and paste the image (Ctrl+V works here too) directly into the message composition area. You'll be presented with options to either attach the file or embed it inline, with metadata removal available for either choice. While mastering comprehensive metadata removal techniques is recommended for thorough privacy protection, this quick approach works well for casual forum posts and similar use cases.
