    Does changing a picture from a jgp to a gif remove location etc. information?

    Yes.
    Metadata isn't supported by gif, only by jpeg, tiff & raw file formats.

    Any reason why you want to convert from jpeg to gif?
    Gif only supports 8-bit colour i.e. 256 colours.

    I just wanted to post some pics online and email a couple of them too, but don't want my person info included.
