Location in the file
Where was this photo taken
Phones and many cameras store GPS coordinates in each photo. Add the original file and we show where the photo was taken, so you can open the spot on a map. The file never leaves your browser.
Photo to check
Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
On a phone, the gallery sometimes removes the location before the browser gets the file. If you know the photo has a location but none shows here, pick it from the Files app instead of the gallery.

How a photo remembers the place
When location is on in a phone or camera, it writes the GPS coordinates into the file as you take the photo: latitude and longitude, often the altitude, the GPS time and the direction the lens was facing.
This data sits in a part of the file called EXIF. You can't see it in the picture, but anyone who gets the original file can read it.
What you'll see
- Coordinates in decimal degrees and in degrees, minutes and seconds.
- Altitude above sea level and the camera direction, if they were saved.
- GPS time in UTC and the camera or phone model.
- Links to OpenStreetMap, Google Maps and Apple Maps. A map only opens when you click, so the coordinates go nowhere without your say.
Why there's no location
- GPS or the camera's location setting was off.
- The photo went through a messenger, social media or a marketplace that removes this data.
- The phone gallery removed the location as you picked the photo. Pick the file from the Files app.
- Someone removed the data earlier, for example with our tool.
