Are there any specific PHP functions or libraries that are recommended for removing EXIF data from images?

When dealing with images, it is important to remove any EXIF data embedded in the file to protect privacy and reduce file size. One way to achieve this in PHP is by using the `exif_read_data()` function to read the EXIF data and then using the `imagecreatefromstring()` function to create a new image without the EXIF data. Finally, you can save the new image without the EXIF data using the `imagejpeg()` function. 

// Read the image file and create a new image without EXIF data
$image = imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents('image.jpg'));

// Save the new image without EXIF data
imagejpeg($image, 'image_no_exif.jpg');

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
