Exact coordinates
Latitude and longitude to five decimal places, which is precise enough to single out one building.
Most phones write the exact spot into the photo file itself. Drop an image here to read that tag locally, then choose whether to view its area on an OpenStreetMap map.
What it reads
The GPS block is stored separately from the picture, so a photo can pin your address without showing it.
Latitude and longitude to five decimal places, which is precise enough to single out one building.
Where the camera recorded them, you also get height above sea level and the moment the shutter fired.
If you choose to load it, your browser requests map tiles from OpenStreetMap so you can see the area. OpenStreetMap receives your IP address and the surrounding map area.
The photo and its exact GPS coordinates are read in this browser tab. No photo copy is uploaded; optional map tiles load only after you choose them.
How it works
Drop in a JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, or AVIF file. Nothing is sent anywhere.
The metadata block is parsed on your device and the coordinates are pulled out if they are present.
Choose whether to load the surrounding area on OpenStreetMap. The separate OpenStreetMap link sends exact coordinates only when you click it; then you can remove them with the EXIF remover.
Who uses it
Check whether a photo you are about to publish points at your home, a child's school, or a client's site.
Marketplace photos are a well-known way to hand a home address to strangers. Check the listing images first.
Journalists and researchers read the tag as one signal about where a picture came from, knowing it can be absent, wrong, or edited.
FAQ
Only if the photo still carries a GPS tag. Many do, but social platforms usually strip it during upload, so a picture saved from Instagram or Facebook will normally show nothing. That is a limit of the data, not of this tool.
No. The file and exact GPS coordinates are read locally and are not sent to our servers or analytics. A map stays off until you choose it; then OpenStreetMap receives your IP address and the surrounding map area. Its separate exact-coordinate link is used only when you click it.
It is whatever the phone's GPS recorded, typically within a few metres outdoors and considerably worse indoors. Treat it as the area rather than the exact doorstep.
Not necessarily. It means there is no GPS tag. The photo can still carry camera serial numbers and timestamps, and the picture itself may show identifying detail. Use the EXIF viewer for the full list.
Yes. The EXIF remover writes a clean copy with the GPS block stripped, keeping your original file format and leaving the pixels untouched.
