Search a place, drop a pin, or type latitude and longitude — and GeoTag.world writes the GPS coordinates straight into your photo. Right in your browser, with the image quality untouched.
Add GPS to a Photo — FreeFirst photo free on sign-up. No card. Your image never leaves your browser.
Geotagging is the process of adding GPS coordinates — latitude and longitude — into a photo's hidden EXIF metadata, recording exactly where the image belongs. To geotag a photo online, you upload it, set the location by searching a place, dropping a map pin, or entering coordinates, then download the file with the GPS data embedded. The picture itself is unchanged; only the invisible metadata gains a precise location.
Cameras with GPS do this automatically, but screenshots, scans, photos from cameras without GPS, and images stripped by social platforms all arrive with no location. Geotagging adds it back — accurately and on purpose.
No software to install. Works on any device. Takes under a minute.
Drag and drop any image — JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or WebP. Your file is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.
Search for a place by name, click the interactive map to drop a pin, or type the exact latitude and longitude. Three ways to pinpoint the spot.
Preview the pin on the map and fine-tune it. Five to six decimal places gives you accuracy down to roughly a single building.
The GPS coordinates are written into the photo's EXIF metadata and the file downloads to your device — with the image quality completely unchanged.
Geotagging is most valuable when location drives the result — rankings, organization, or proof of place.
Geotag photos at your exact business address before uploading them to your Google Business Profile. Geotagged images reinforce to Google where your business operates and support local-pack visibility.
Tag property photos with the listing's coordinates so portals, MLS feeds, and Google associate each image with the correct address and neighborhood.
Organize trips by location and rebuild GPS that was never recorded — or was lost during editing and transfer — so every photo maps to where it was taken.
Embed the accurate location metadata that stock libraries and clients expect, without exposing your own home or studio coordinates.
Restore or correct GPS coordinates on drone frames and survey images so they line up properly in mapping and inspection workflows.
Re-add GPS to screenshots, scans, or photos that messaging apps and social platforms stripped on upload — giving them a precise location again.
Geotagging writes a small set of standard EXIF GPS fields into the file. These are the same fields a GPS-enabled camera records, so every app that reads location data understands them:
GPSLatitudeThe north–south position, stored in decimal degrees (e.g. 24.860966).
GPSLongitudeThe east–west position, stored in decimal degrees (e.g. 67.001137).
GPSLatitudeRef / GPSLongitudeRefThe hemisphere references — N or S, and E or W.
GPSAltitudeOptional height above sea level, when you choose to include it.
Coordinates are stored in decimal degrees (for example, 24.860966, 67.001137) — the format read by Google Photos, Google Business Profile, Adobe Lightroom, Apple Photos, and Windows File Explorer.
How browser-based geotagging stacks up against manual edits and desktop software.

Geotagging runs entirely on your device. The GPS coordinates are written into the file locally — your image is never uploaded, stored, or logged. Only place-name searches call a geocoding service, and that only ever returns coordinates, never your photo.
Your first geotagged photo is free when you sign up — no card. When you're geotagging real estate batches, business-profile photos, or client work at volume, paid plans raise your monthly photo count and file-size limits.
Upload the image to GeoTag.world, then set the location three ways: search for a place by name, click the map to drop a pin, or type the latitude and longitude directly. Confirm the pin and download the file — the GPS coordinates are written into the photo's EXIF metadata. The whole process takes under a minute and needs no software.
Yes. Adding GPS works on any photo, including screenshots, scans, edited exports, and images that were stripped of metadata by a messaging app or social platform. You set the coordinates manually, so the photo does not need to have ever had a location.
Your first geotagged photo is free when you sign up — no card required. For ongoing or higher-volume use, GeoTag.world offers monthly plans (Personal, Pro, and Agency) with larger file-size limits and more photos per month. Viewing EXIF metadata and removing GPS are always free.
Find your business's exact coordinates (right-click your location pin in Google Maps to copy them), upload your photo to GeoTag.world, enter those coordinates, and download the geotagged image before uploading it to your Google Business Profile. Make sure the embedded location matches your real business address.
GeoTag.world writes coordinates into the EXIF GPS fields in decimal degrees, along with the hemisphere references (N/S and E/W). This is the standard format read by Google Photos, Lightroom, Windows, macOS, and most online platforms.
No. GPS coordinates live in a separate metadata layer (EXIF), not in the image pixels. Geotagging does not recompress or alter the visible image, so resolution and quality stay exactly the same.
Yes. GeoTag.world supports HEIC, the default iPhone format, alongside JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF. You can add or correct GPS coordinates on iPhone photos directly in the browser.
Accuracy depends on how precisely you place the pin. Five to six decimal places locates a point to within a few metres — close enough to identify a specific building. You control the exact spot, so you decide how precise the geotag is.
Yes. You can geotag photos one after another in a session, and paid plans raise how many images you can process each month and the maximum file size — useful for real estate batches, agencies, and survey work.
Yes. Because the coordinates are written into standard EXIF GPS fields, they are read by Google Photos and Google Business Profile, Adobe Lightroom, Apple Photos, Windows File Explorer, and most mapping and gallery apps.
No. Geotagging happens entirely in your browser. Only place-name searches use a geocoding service to return coordinates — your actual image is never uploaded, stored, or logged.
