Geotag Photos Online

Geotag photos online by writing GPS coordinates into their EXIF data, one photo or a whole batch at a time. Search for a place, click the map, drag the pin, paste coordinates from Google Maps or use your current location, then add a title, description, keywords, author, copyright, date taken and altitude. Camera details from the original are kept. The tool writes the tags, reads them back to check them, and gives you a geotagged JPG, or a ZIP for a batch. iPhone HEIC photos are converted to JPG first. Need the opposite? Remove GPS strips the location instead. Real estate agents, photographers and local businesses use it before publishing photos. There are no daily limits, and your photos are not uploaded.

How to use

01

Upload one or more photos

Click the upload box and choose JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC files. With several photos, the same location and tags are written to all of them.

02

Set the location and details

Search a place, click the map, drag the red pin, paste "lat, lng", pick a preset city or click My location. Add a title, description, keywords, author, copyright or date if you want.

03

Write the tags and download

Click Write EXIF tags, or Remove GPS instead to strip the location. Each file is checked, then click Download for a single JPG or a ZIP for a batch.

Why Geotag Photos Online

Does geotagging photos help local SEO?

Geotagging is often sold as a local SEO shortcut. The honest picture is more modest. Google has not confirmed that GPS coordinates inside image files affect rankings, and large platforms, Google Business Profile included, process uploaded photos and generally do not keep the original metadata on the public copy. So a geotag on a photo you upload to your profile is unlikely to be seen by anyone.

Geotags still have real uses. Stock and news agencies read location metadata, photo libraries such as Apple Photos, Google Photos and Lightroom place tagged pictures on a map, and clients receiving files from a job get a record of where each shot was taken. For local visibility, the signals that matter are a complete business profile, consistent name, address and phone details, reviews and useful pages on your own site.

Free and paid geotagging tools compared

Many geotagging sites limit free accounts to a handful of photos a day or keep batch mode for paid plans. This tool has no account and no counters, because the work happens on your own device. The comparison below describes common patterns, not any one competitor, so check the current terms of any service you consider.

Common questions

Does Google read GPS data in images?
Google has not said that GPS tags in a photo improve rankings, and many platforms, including Google Business Profile, strip or ignore EXIF data on upload. Geotags are useful where the file itself is shared or kept, such as stock photo sites, client deliveries, real estate archives and your own photo library. Treat them as accurate labelling, not a ranking trick.
How do I geotag photos for Google Business Profile?
You can geotag photos here before uploading, and it does no harm, but do not expect the coordinates to show on your profile, since uploaded photos are processed by Google. What helps a profile is regular, genuine photos of your premises, products and team, with an accurate business address and category.
Can I geotag multiple photos at once?
Yes. Select several photos in the upload dialog. The preview shows the first one, and when you click Write EXIF tags, the same coordinates, altitude and text fields are written to every photo. Download then gives you a ZIP.
How do I check whether a photo already has a geotag?
Upload it here and look at Current geotags. If the photo has GPS data, the coordinates are shown and a blue dot marks the spot on the map. The EXIF Viewer shows the same location along with all other metadata.
Can I remove location data from a photo?
Yes. Upload the photos and click Remove GPS instead. For JPGs, only the GPS values are wiped, the camera and date tags stay, and the image is not re-compressed. PNG and WebP files are redrawn, which removes all of their metadata.
Will geotagging keep my camera details and date taken?
Yes, with Keep camera details ticked, the make, model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length and original date are copied into the new EXIF block. Fields such as maker notes are not kept. Normal JPGs are not re-compressed; PNG, WebP and JPGs that rely on a rotation flag are redrawn and saved as JPG at 95 percent quality first.
Can I geotag iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF files are converted to JPG in your browser when you add them, keeping their existing EXIF data, and are then tagged like any other JPG. The output of this tool is always JPG.
Where do the title, keywords and author go in the photo?
The description goes into the EXIF ImageDescription tag, the author into Artist, and the copyright into Copyright. The title, keywords, subject and author are also written as the Windows XP tags that File Explorer shows under Properties, Details, and many photo managers read them.
Is my photo uploaded when I add GPS coordinates?
No. Reading, tagging and checking all happen in your browser. Only the text you type into the place search goes to OpenStreetMap's geocoder, and My location may ask a free IP lookup service for a rough position if your browser cannot provide one.
