Where was this photo taken?

Find where a photo was taken. Drop a JPEG, PNG, or HEIC and the tool reads its GPS location, pins it on a map, and shows the exact address, latitude, and longitude. Copy the coordinates or open them in Google Maps. Nothing uploads.

EXIF Metadata Viewer

Drop a photo to view EXIF

JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or TIFF. We read date, time, GPS, camera, lens, and exposure data, all in your browser. The file never leaves your device.

What you'll see

The location, on a map, with the address.

When a photo carries GPS data, the tool shows the coordinates on a map, reverse-geocodes the address, and lets you copy or open the spot in Maps.

Location on a map

Latitude and longitude pinned on an interactive map, so you see the exact spot at a glance, not just numbers.

Reverse-geocoded address

The coordinates are turned into a human-readable street, city, and country address.

Copy coordinates + open in Maps

One click to copy the lat/long or open the location in Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.

Altitude and capture time

Where GPS altitude and the EXIF timestamp are present, you see how high and exactly when the shot was taken.

No location? You will know

If the photo has no GPS, the tool says so and explains why (camera setting off, or stripped by a platform).

Private by design

No upload, no logging. The file is read in your browser and the location never leaves your device.

FAQ

Common questions about finding a photo's location.

How do I find where a photo was taken?
Drop the photo onto the tool. If the photo carries GPS data, the browser reads the latitude and longitude from its EXIF metadata, pins the spot on a map, and reverse-geocodes the exact street and city address. You can copy the coordinates or open them in Google Maps. Nothing uploads; it all runs in your browser.
Why doesn't my photo show a location?
Two common reasons. First, Location Services were off in the camera app when the shot was taken, so no coordinates were ever recorded. Second, the photo passed through a platform like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, or X that strips EXIF on upload. A photo saved from social media almost always has no location left.
How accurate are the GPS coordinates in a photo?
Phone GPS is usually accurate to within a few metres outdoors with a clear sky view. Accuracy drops indoors, in cities with tall buildings, or when the photo was tagged from a coarse network location instead of satellites. The map pin shows where the device thought it was at the moment of capture.
Can someone find my home address from a photo I share?
Yes, if the photo still has its GPS data. Anyone can drop it into a tool like this and see where it was taken, which is often a home or workplace. Before sharing photos publicly, strip the location with our EXIF remover so the coordinates are gone.
Which photo formats can I check the location of?
JPEG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone), and TIFF. Most phone photos and camera exports work. The tool reads whatever GPS tags the file contains; it cannot invent a location for a photo that never had one.
Is this photo location finder free and private?
Yes. No account, no limits, no watermark. The photo is parsed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device. We never see your image or its location.
Can I see all the other metadata too?
Yes. The same tool shows when the photo was taken, the camera and lens, exposure settings, and IPTC and XMP fields. For the full breakdown, use our EXIF viewer.

Want the location visible on the photo itself?

GPS data is hidden inside the file and most platforms strip it on upload. The iOS app renders the location and address directly onto the visible image at the shutter, so where a photo was taken survives every upload, screenshot, and PDF export.
