How to geotag photos online
- Choose up to 5 photos. Drag JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or HEIF files into the tool, or use Choose photos. Each file can be up to 30 MB. HEIC/HEIF previews are created locally.
- Check existing photo locations. Select a thumbnail to view its EXIF GPS coordinates. Numbered map thumbnails correspond to the photo list. Use Show all photos to see the batch together.
- Choose the right location. Click a point on the map, search a city or address, or type decimal latitude and longitude. Use negative latitude south of the equator and negative longitude west of Greenwich.
- Apply and download. Apply the location to one photo or the whole batch. Download the selected photo, or download a ZIP containing photos with an assigned location. The tool checks the written GPS coordinates before downloading.
View photo locations from EXIF GPS
A geotag is a geographic position stored with a photo. Cameras and phones can save latitude and longitude in the EXIF GPS directory when location recording is enabled. This EXIF location viewer reads those coordinates and shows the photo on a map, making it useful for travel records, field surveys, site inspections and organizing small photo collections.
Select a photo to inspect its file size, displayed dimensions and available EXIF metadata. Photo details groups camera and lens information, capture time, exposure settings, image orientation, author and original GPS information. Expand More EXIF fields to see additional readable tags. Fields are only shown when the source photo contains them; capture times without a recorded timezone are displayed as written.
If the tool shows “No GPS location,” the file has no readable EXIF position. Screenshots, downloaded social images and photos shared through messaging apps may lack location tags. The tool cannot discover where an untagged photo was taken from its visual content; you need to supply a known location.
Add GPS coordinates without changing image quality
Use the photo geotag editor to add missing GPS information or correct an inaccurate position. Photos taken at the same inspection site can share one coordinate pair using Apply to all photos. For a trip with several stops, select each photo and set its own location.
The downloaded copy keeps its file format, compressed image data, orientation and other existing metadata. Unchanged coordinates preserve the original GPS metadata. Applying a new location replaces the GPS directory with your chosen WGS 84 latitude and longitude; unrelated old GPS fields such as altitude are not reused. HEIC/HEIF files stay in their original format, with a browser-local preview of the primary still image. JPG is widely supported by photo applications. PNG and WebP support EXIF, but some destination apps may ignore or strip their location tags.
Local photo processing and privacy
Your photo files stay in this browser tab. There is no photo upload, account or server-side image storage. Clear the batch to release the previews, or reload the page to discard the session. Download your edited copies before leaving. The map needs an internet connection, and place-name searches you submit are handled by the Photon geocoding service.
A geotagged copy contains the location you chose and may retain other metadata. Review that location before sharing photos publicly. Adding GPS metadata does not verify a photo’s origin or guarantee search ranking improvements.
Photo geotagging FAQ
How do I find where a photo was taken?
Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or HEIF photo. If it contains valid EXIF GPS coordinates, this photo location viewer displays them and places a numbered photo thumbnail on the map. A photo without GPS metadata cannot reveal its original location through EXIF.
Can I view camera and other photo metadata?
Yes. Select a photo to see file size, format and displayed dimensions. When present, Photo details also shows EXIF camera and lens information, capture time, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation, author and original GPS details. Additional readable tags are available under More EXIF fields. Missing fields are omitted. These details describe the original file; downloaded copies use your applied GPS location.
How do I add a location to a photo without GPS?
Select the photo, click the map, search for a place, or enter latitude and longitude. Choose Apply to this photo, then download the copy with embedded EXIF GPS metadata. Use Apply to all photos to assign the same location to the batch.
Which photo formats can I geotag?
The tool reads and writes EXIF GPS in JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP and common HEVC-based HEIC/HEIF still photos. It preserves the original image format and compressed image data. RAW, TIFF, GIF, AVIF and image sequences are not supported. Some photo apps do not display EXIF GPS from PNG or WebP; JPEG is often the most compatible choice.
Can I geotag iPhone HEIC photos without converting to JPEG?
Yes. The tool reads available EXIF and GPS, creates a local preview, and downloads the edited copy as HEIC/HEIF. It retains original compressed images and image properties, including orientation. When you leave coordinates unchanged, the original file and its GPS metadata are preserved. Applying a new position replaces the GPS directory; old altitude and GPS timestamps are omitted rather than attached to a different location. Common HEVC-based still photos are supported, with local previews up to 64 megapixels; uncommon codecs, protected files and some container layouts may not be supported.
How many photos can I geotag at once?
Each batch holds up to 5 photos, with a 30 MB limit per photo. You can add files in several steps as long as the current batch does not exceed 5. Download your results, clear the batch, and start another batch whenever you need.
Are my photos uploaded or stored?
No photo files are uploaded. Reading, editing and downloading happen in your browser, and the current batch is held in memory. Reloading or closing the page clears it. Map tiles use an online map service, and a submitted place-name search is sent to the Photon geocoding service.
Does geotagging reduce image quality or change my original?
No. The tool changes EXIF metadata without recompressing image pixels. It downloads a new copy and leaves your original file unchanged. Other original metadata, such as camera details and orientation, is retained. If coordinates are unchanged, the original GPS metadata is preserved. When you apply a new position, the GPS directory is replaced, so old GPS altitude or timestamp fields are not carried over.
Can I edit an existing photo geotag?
Yes. Select a geotagged photo, choose the correct location, apply it, and download the updated copy. The original EXIF GPS coordinates are shown when you first select the photo. A manually assigned location records your choice; it does not prove where the photo was taken.
Can this tool identify a location from the image itself?
No. It reads GPS coordinates already stored in EXIF or writes coordinates you provide. It does not recognize landmarks, infer a location from pixels, or recover GPS data removed by social media or messaging apps.
Will adding photo geotags guarantee better local SEO rankings?
No ranking improvement is guaranteed. Use accurate location metadata to organize photos and support workflows that read GPS tags. Platforms may remove metadata when an image is uploaded or resized, so check the final file in the destination service.
