Photo Geotag Tool — Add Location to Photos
Read the location already hidden in a photo, add a new GPS geotag to a JPG, or strip location data out before you share — free, and done entirely on your device.
Geotag a photo
Works with JPG / JPEG photos — geotagging writes GPS coordinates into the photo's EXIF data, which is a JPEG feature. PNG and WebP files can't hold EXIF GPS data, so they can't be geotagged this way.
🔒
100% private: your photo is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to any server. Nothing leaves your device.

Tip: open Google Maps, right-click any place on the map — the numbers shown at the top of the little menu are that place's coordinates. Copy them and paste them below.

⚠️
Please know: adding a location replaces the photo's existing EXIF block — camera details stored in that block may be removed from the downloaded copy. Your original file and the photo's actual pixels are never changed.
How to geotag a photo
- Add your photo. Drag a JPG/JPEG photo into the box above (or click to pick one). The tool reads it on your device and tells you whether it already has a location tag.
- Enter the coordinates. Type the latitude and longitude, or paste them from Google Maps — right-click a place on the map and the numbers at the top are its coordinates.
- Check the readout. The dark box shows the exact location in degrees, minutes and seconds that will be written into the photo.
- Download. Click Add Location & Download. You get a copy of the photo with the GPS location embedded in its EXIF data — your original stays untouched.
Removing a location
Use Remove Location & Download to get a copy with the EXIF location block stripped out entirely. This is the safer copy to share publicly — see the privacy warning below.
Why geotag photos?
Local SEO & Google Business: photos with location data reinforce where your business operates, and geotagged images are a long-standing part of local SEO housekeeping for shop, restaurant and service-area photos.
Travel blogs: geotagged photos carry the story of where each shot was taken, and many photo platforms can place them on a map automatically.
Photo organisation: locations let photo apps group and search your library by place — "photos from Lahore" actually works when the GPS tag is there.
⚠️ Privacy warning — read before you share
A geotagged photo reveals the exact coordinates where it was taken. A cheerful photo of a new purchase, a pet, or your children taken at home quietly carries your home address inside it if it was geotagged — and anyone who downloads the photo can read it.
Before posting a photo publicly, use the Remove Location option above to download a location-free copy and share that one instead. Keep the geotagged originals for your own library, local business pages and maps — not for public posts from home.
Frequently asked questions
Why only JPG photos?
EXIF — the standard block that holds GPS coordinates — is built into the JPEG format. PNG and WebP files don't carry EXIF GPS data in the same way, so a location written into them wouldn't be read by maps, galleries or Google. Convert the photo to JPG first, then geotag it here.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. All reading and writing happens in your browser, on your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded and the tool will still work.
Will geotagging change how my photo looks?
No. Only the EXIF information block is written — the image pixels are never re-encoded or altered. One note: replacing the EXIF block can remove camera details (like the camera model) from the downloaded copy, which the tool warns about before you download.
How do I check it worked?
Drop the downloaded photo back into this tool — it will read the location from the file and show it to you, with links to view it on Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.
Where do I find coordinates for a place?
Open Google Maps, right-click the place, and the numbers at the top of the menu are its latitude and longitude. Paste them into the "Paste coordinates" box above and the tool will sort them into the right fields.
