Put your photo on the map — exactly where you want it.

It writes latitude and longitude into a photo’s EXIF GPS metadata. You choose the location on a map, search for a place, paste coordinates, or type them in — then download the updated photo. It can also remove the location from a photo completely.

No — not by default. The photo is read and edited entirely inside your browser tab. The only time a copy is sent to our server is if you tick “Keep a 24-hour recovery copy”, and that copy is deleted automatically after 24 hours. Note that the map loads tiles from OpenStreetMap, and place search sends the text you type to OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim service.

Not for JPEG files. The picture data is left exactly as it is and only the metadata block is rewritten, so quality and resolution stay identical. PNG and WebP files are converted to JPEG at 95% quality, because JPEG is the format that carries standard GPS tags.

JPG/JPEG, PNG and WebP up to 20 MB each, 25 photos per batch. HEIC/HEIF (the default on many iPhones) can’t be decoded by browsers — export or share the photo as JPEG from your Photos app first. The tool checks the real file type, not just the extension.

Yes. If a JPEG already has GPS data, the coordinates are filled in automatically and a marker is placed on the map. Camera model and capture time are shown too when they exist.

Yes. When a photo has no GPS metadata, the editor scans the picture for coordinate text such as “Lat 17.385044 Long 78.486671”, “17.385°N 78.486°E” or degrees-minutes-seconds — the way GPS camera apps stamp them — and fills in the map. It uses OCR that runs in your browser: the photo is never uploaded, though the first scan downloads a text-reading engine (a few megabytes) from a public CDN that your browser then caches. Clear, high-contrast text works best, and text recognition can occasionally misread a digit, so always check that the marker looks right. If nothing can be read you will see a message and can choose the location on the map or type it in.

This happens when the photo’s metadata is damaged, in an unusual format, or was removed by an app or messenger, even though the picture may still show the coordinates as text. Press “Extract coordinates” and the tool reads the coordinates printed on the picture itself (OCR). With several photos it checks each one — metadata first, then the picture — and lists what it found, so you can use any result, or choose “Each photo’s own location” to write every photo’s own coordinates back into its metadata. If nothing can be read, you can still choose the place on the map, search for it, paste coordinates, or type them.

Yes. Add up to 25 photos and the location you choose is written into all of them. One photo downloads as a JPEG; several download together as one ZIP. Every file is verified after writing, and any that fail are listed instead of silently skipped.

Decimal degrees (17.385, 78.4867 — if longitude comes first the tool notices and swaps them), with hemisphere letters (40.7128 N, 74.0060 W), degrees-minutes-seconds (17°23′6″N 78°29′12″E), and Google Maps links containing coordinates. Latitude must be −90 to 90 and longitude −180 to 180.

Choose “Remove GPS” instead of “Set GPS location”. The GPS block is deleted and the rest of the camera metadata is kept. This is useful before sharing a photo publicly.

Coordinates are stored with about 3 cm of numeric precision, but real accuracy depends on the point you choose. Zoom in and drag the marker for precise placement. The satellite view helps with exact spots.

Some apps ignore EXIF GPS data, and many social networks and chat apps strip it on upload. Check the downloaded file with a metadata viewer or your computer’s “Properties / Get Info” panel.

Correcting a missing or wrong location, or organising an archive, are common uses. Don’t use edited location data to mislead others or misrepresent evidence. The tool records the place you choose, not where the photo was really taken.

Yes. The layout adapts to mobile screens, and “Use my location” can fill in where you are right now (your browser will ask for permission first).
