Canva videos can lose GPS metadata on export.
The design can look perfect while the file metadata is empty. Check the exported MP4, then restore real coordinates if the final file lost its location data.
Focuses on the final Canva export, not the media you uploaded into Canva.
Turns missing metadata into a clear repair step.
Fits naturally after Canva, before GBP upload.
Use it as a final export check.

Common questions
Does Canva always preserve GPS metadata?
No. Many editing and design tools remove location metadata during export. Always check the final file.
Can I add GPS inside Canva?
Canva is not built as a GPS metadata repair tool. The cleaner workflow is to export first, then check and repair the final file.
Will the repaired video still look like my Canva design?
Yes. The goal is to update metadata while keeping the visual content intact.
Check, repair, and verify video location metadata.
