What data do you want to keep? Just the compressed data (if the format uses compression), without the tables that allow the compressed data to be interpreted properly? Or are you wanting to read in the image data and save it in binary without headers?

You will need to write your own code for that, based upon the image standards.

I would suggest that you consider taking an existing C or C++ image library and modifying it to extract what you need, instead of building new MATLAB code from the ground up.

JPEG standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#The_JPEG_standard

PNG standard: http://www.w3.org/TR/PNG/

GIF 89a standard: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt

TIFF standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF/EP

Please keep in mind that the headers tell you important matters such as the image size, image data representation, and which of the different encoding methods were used. Without the headers you do not know the image height or width.
