See the three-step guide below to get an archive of your Google Photos. The archive is organised by year and includes metadata corresponding to each image in the form of .json files. These consist of album information, descriptions and geodata that have been added via Google photos, as well as EXIF data from the original images stripped from their downloaded counterparts.
Extract the archive, taking care to ensure you have sufficient space. Note that if it’s a huge file and you’re extracting it to slow, or network, storage, it’ll take a long time to extract.
