Late last year, John Kheit wrote about the possible dangers of metadata for Mac users.

JPEGCleaner takes care of any potential worry about that for images and also produces leaner, more efficient files for emailing, as the developer explains:

JPEGCleaner will reduce the size of jpeg (and jfif) files by removing resources forks and meta-data. This results in a smaller file(s), which loads faster, and uses less bandwidth when sending by e-mail. JFIF files are converted to JPEG.

Just drop your image or folder full of images onto the app’s main window (or its Dock icon):

You can adjust the quality and size options here, and also choose to create a new message with the optimised file in Mail.app. Neat!

JPEGCleaner is shareware (USD 14.95) and is available from the developer’s web site .images, email, metadata, resource fork, optimizing, mail.app, apple mail
