Add a location to a photo
Choose where a photo was taken on a map, search for a place or use where you are now. You can also change or remove a location that's already there.
Your image is uploaded to our server to be edited, then deleted as soon as you download it, always within 30 minutes.
Think before you share a location
A geotagged photo tells anyone who gets the file exactly where it was taken. That's useful for your own library, and risky for photos of your home, your children's school or anywhere you go regularly. Messaging apps and most social networks remove location when you post, but email, cloud links and file transfers keep it. Check with the metadata viewer before you send an original.
Questions
Why add a location to a photo?
Gallery apps like Apple Photos, Google Photos and Lightroom place geotagged photos on a map and let you search them by place. It also helps when a camera without GPS took the photo, or when you scanned an old print.
Where is the location saved?
In the standard EXIF GPS fields, which every major photo app reads. Any older location, including copies in XMP, is removed first so the photo has only one.
How do I remove a location before sharing?
Add the photo and select Remove location. Or use the remove AI metadata tool to strip the location along with everything else.
Is my location or search sent anywhere?
Map images and place searches come from OpenStreetMap, which sees the area you view or the place you type. "Use my location" is handled by your browser and only fills in the coordinates on this page.
Is my image uploaded?
Yes, because editing metadata safely needs ExifTool, which runs on our server. The image is sent over an encrypted connection, stored under a random name, and deleted as soon as you download the result, always within 30 minutes. We never look at, keep or share it.
