I have search the forums for a solution and some of them worked however I am unable to copy long but when i use the exiftool -All:All= -tagsfromfile it is leaving out all of the ICC_Profile, JFIF and MPF Data.  Is there a way to transfer this data.


Phil Harvey

ExifTool doesn't write MPF information, and preserving it when deleting everything else would be problematic.

To delete everything but ICC_Profile and JFIF, use this command:

exiftool -all= --icc_profile:all --jfif:all FILE

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Alternatively, you can delete the three main groups

exiftool -IPTC:all= -EXIF:All= -XMP:All= /path/to/files/
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
