Google Takeout downloads the images in full quality.

But it splits your metadata (like capture time, geo coordinates) and places them in a separate sidecar file.

This isn't an issue if you're migrating to Ente because during import the desktop app[1] will merge the metadata with their respective files.

If it's for you to keep a local copy, you will unfortunately need to write some scripts. There's in fact a paid product[2] that does just this.
