How GPS data is read from photos

Most phones and many cameras store the location in the image's EXIF metadata when location tagging is on. The tool reads the file's metadata block on your device, finds the GPS section and converts its degrees, minutes and seconds into decimal coordinates, along with altitude, capture time, camera model and compass direction when present.

Social networks and messaging apps usually strip this metadata when you upload, so downloaded or forwarded photos often have no location. Edited exports may also drop it. If a photo shows No GPS data, try the original file from the device that took it.

Decimal degrees

Coordinates are shown with six decimals, accurate to about 10 cm.

Altitude

Height above sea level as recorded by the device, if available.

Your data stays local

Only map tiles are fetched; photos and coordinates are never uploaded.

Photo GPS viewer FAQ

Why does my photo have no GPS data?

Location tagging may have been off, or the photo was shared through an app that removes metadata. Screenshots and many downloaded images never contain GPS data.

Can it read HEIC photos from iPhone?

HEIC metadata is stored differently and is not supported yet. Export the photo as JPEG, or set the camera format to Most Compatible.

How do I remove location data from a photo?

Use an EXIF cleaner tool to strip the metadata before sharing, or turn off location in your camera settings.

Is the location accurate?

It is as accurate as the phone's GPS fix when the photo was taken, usually within 5 to 20 meters outdoors and less precise indoors.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Metadata is read on your device. Only the map tiles for the visible area are loaded from OpenStreetMap.
