Delete all tiff metadata

Question

It seems I have a similar problem to GeoTIFF world file ignored by QGIS?

QGIS doesn't import my ground-layer tiff-files correctly, because I have the geo data in an extra tfw-file.

Now I want to delete all gdal-metadata in a bunch of tiff files.

Is there a Linux command line tool for this?

Answer 1

With gdal_translate

gdal_translate -of GTiff -co PROFILE=BASELINE input_geotiff.tif output_clean.tif

Answer 2

You could try Imagemagick mogrify:

mogrify -strip *.tiff
