Imgur removes any GPS data on upload

First point - imgur strips the geotag and etc data from photos on upload

Just a heads up as that may be helpful to those lacking the technical knowledge to do it otherwise...

Means your photos won’t have any location data or otherwise :)

What if you print the photo, scan it, change the format (from .BMP to .JPG, for example)?
Or you get it on your screen and make a screenshot?

Doh - I saw the thread but thought it was better if it was it’s own and now buried

Kareltje - a screen shot of a photo also removes any exit data
