EXIF Metadata Stripped (JPEG)
The same photo with all EXIF metadata removed — the stripped twin of the EXIF-present JPEG, for verifying that a metadata-scrubbing tool actually removed everything.

What is a .jpg file?
JPG is the common extension for JPEG, a lossy raster format that uses discrete cosine transform compression tuned for photographic images. It is 8-bit truecolor with no alpha channel, and quality is traded against file size via a compression factor. It is ubiquitous for photos on the web and from cameras.
How to use this file
Use an example JPG to test decoders, EXIF/metadata parsers, re-encoding quality, and orientation handling, or to confirm converters and image pipelines process baseline and progressive scans correctly.
How to use this file for testing
“EXIF Metadata Stripped (JPEG)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for EXIF & orientation testing, Metadata testing. Images with embedded EXIF orientation flags for testing whether your tool respects rotation metadata.
Documented properties for this file: 512×512. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
For image AI or enhancement tools, run the model or filter on this file and diff against the clean or ground-truth companion in the same group when available. Keep seeds and documented damage parameters in your evaluation notes so regressions are attributable.

- pngPNG with Metadata StrippedThe pixel-identical PNG control with text and ICC chunks removed, for proving that a scrubber changes metadata without changing decoded RGB values.
- pngPNG with Text and ICC MetadataA deterministic PNG with known text chunks and an embedded sRGB ICC profile, paired with a pixel-identical stripped control for extraction and privacy-tool tests.
- tiffTIFF with EXIF, XMP and IPTC MetadataA losslessly compressed TIFF carrying known camera/software tags plus XMP and IPTC payloads, paired with an exactly decoded stripped image.
- tiffTIFF with Metadata StrippedThe same losslessly compressed TIFF pixels with EXIF-style, XMP and IPTC metadata absent, providing a ground-truth scrubber control.
- jpgEXIF Orientation 1 (normal)A JPEG whose pixels are stored identically but whose EXIF Orientation tag is set to 1 (normal). Tests whether your tool honours orientation metadata.
- jpgEXIF Orientation 2 (mirror horizontal)A JPEG whose pixels are stored identically but whose EXIF Orientation tag is set to 2 (mirror horizontal). Tests whether your tool honours orientation metadata.
