Geotag photos in your browser: search a place, drop a pin or type latitude and longitude, and GeoTag.world writes the GPS into the photo file. Your image is never uploaded, and a JPEG keeps its quality untouched.
First photo free on sign-up. No card. Your image never leaves your browser.
Compatible with JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP
Up to 25 MB per file — free for everyone

Geotagging (also written geo tagging) 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, add it, set the location by searching a place, dropping a map pin or entering coordinates, then download the file with the GPS data embedded. For a JPEG, 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 — a JPEG keeps its image quality completely unchanged.
Geotagging is most valuable when location drives the result — organization, record-keeping, or proof of place.
Add your exact business or job-site address to photos so your own files stay accurate and easy to sort. Google does not use photo location data for ranking, so treat this as record-keeping, not an SEO tactic.
Tag property photos with the listing's coordinates so your own files and photo apps that read GPS place them at the property on a map.
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.
This GPS photo editor writes a small set of standard EXIF fields into the file. The location fields are the same ones a GPS-enabled camera records, so apps that read location data understand 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.
GPSImgDirectionOptional compass direction the camera was facing, in degrees, when you add it.
ImageDescription / XPKeywordsOptional description (alt text) and keywords stored with the photo, when you add them.
Coordinates are written as degrees, minutes and seconds (for example, 24° 51′ 39.5″ N, 67° 0′ 4.1″ E), the standard EXIF format read by Google Photos, Adobe Lightroom, Apple Photos and Windows File Explorer. If the photo already holds older GPS coordinates in its XMP data, those are removed too, so apps do not show two different places.

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 and coordinate-to-address lookups call a geocoding service (Geoapify). They send the text you typed or the coordinates, never your photo.
Setting the location is free. You pay only when you download a geotagged photo: 1 credit per photo, with credit packs from $3.99 for 50 credits that never expire. Your first geotagged photo is free when you sign up, no card needed. For real estate batches, business-profile photos or client work at volume, paid plans give you more photos each month.
Add 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. This GPS photo editor writes the coordinates 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 more photos per month. Viewing EXIF metadata and removing GPS are always free.
No. Google's guidance on improving local ranking names relevance, distance and prominence and does not mention photo location metadata, so there is no sign that geotagging a photo lifts your Business Profile ranking. Use real, sharp, relevant photos and keep your business details correct. You can still add your business coordinates to files for your own records.
GeoTag.world writes coordinates into the EXIF GPS fields as degrees, minutes and seconds, along with the hemisphere references (N/S and E/W). This is the standard EXIF format read by Google Photos, Lightroom, Windows, macOS and most online platforms.
For JPEG, no. GPS coordinates live in a separate metadata layer (EXIF), not in the image pixels. Geotagging a JPEG does not recompress or alter the visible image, so resolution and quality stay exactly the same. HEIC, PNG and WebP files come back as a new JPEG, which can change them slightly.
Yes. GeoTag.world supports HEIC, the default iPhone format, alongside JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF. 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. Add several photos together and use Geotag all to open them in the editor, where you can apply one location to the whole batch, or geotag photos one after another in a session. Each downloaded photo uses 1 credit. Paid plans give you more photos each month, which suits real estate batches, agencies and survey work.
Yes. Because the coordinates are written into standard EXIF GPS fields, they are read by Google Photos, Adobe Lightroom, Apple Photos, Windows File Explorer, and most mapping and gallery apps.
No. GeoTag.world writes the location into the file's hidden EXIF metadata. It does not print coordinates, a map or a timestamp on the picture, so apps that put a GPS stamp on the image are a different kind of tool.
Yes. Open the photo, set a new place or enter new coordinates, and download it. The new coordinates replace the old ones, including GPS coordinates saved in the photo's XMP data, so apps do not show two different places.
No. The location is written into the file in your browser and the photo is never uploaded. Only the place name you search for and the coordinates of the pin, used to show its address, are sent to a geocoding service (Geoapify), and the map tiles load from OpenFreeMap. Your photo itself is never sent.
Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, add the photo, set the location and download it. HEIC photos from an iPhone are supported and are saved as a JPEG. Your phone's own Photos app can also adjust a location inside the app; use this tool when you need to hand someone a file with the GPS already written in, for example a client.
