Photo location

See where a photo was taken

Most phones write the exact spot into the photo file itself. Drop an image here to read that tag and see it on a map. The file never leaves your device.

What it reads

The location a photo carries, spelled out

The GPS block is stored separately from the picture, so a photo can pin your address without showing it.

Exact coordinates

Latitude and longitude to five decimal places, which is precise enough to single out one building.

Altitude and capture time

Where the camera recorded them, you also get height above sea level and the moment the shutter fired.

A map, not just numbers

The point is plotted on OpenStreetMap, so you see the street instead of decoding a coordinate pair.

Nothing is uploaded

The photo is read in this browser tab. No copy goes to a server, and the coordinates are never transmitted.

How it works

Three steps, all on your device

01

Choose a photo

Drop in a JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, or AVIF file. Nothing is sent anywhere.

02

Read the GPS tag

The metadata block is parsed on your device and the coordinates are pulled out if they are present.

03

See it on the map

The location appears as a pin. From there you can strip it out with the EXIF remover.

Who uses it

When knowing the location matters

Before you post

Check whether a photo you are about to publish points at your home, a child's school, or a client's site.

Buying and selling

Marketplace photos are a well-known way to hand a home address to strangers. Check the listing images first.

Verifying an image

Journalists and researchers read the tag as one signal about where a picture came from, knowing it can be absent, wrong, or edited.

FAQ

Photo location questions

Can you find where any photo was taken?

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.

Is the photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read in your browser and never sent to a server. The coordinates are not transmitted either, analytics included.

How accurate is the location?

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.

No location was found. Does that mean the photo is safe to share?

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.

Can I remove the location?

Yes. The EXIF remover writes a clean copy with the GPS block stripped, keeping your original file format and leaving the pixels untouched.
