GEOLOCATION FOR YOUR PICTURES
Find location from image.
Two signals live inside a picture: the coordinates the camera wrote into the file, and the evidence a photographer left in the frame. Where is this place reads both and shows you how far the answer can be trusted.

What the image says
SAMPLE
FROM A PHOTO TO A PLACENyhavn, Copenhagen
Copenhagen, Denmark
55.6798° N, 12.5912° EView on the globe
Colorful townhouses, sailing boats, and a historic canal: this is Nyhavn, Copenhagen’s waterfront district.
THE METHOD
How to find the location of an image
The same three moves work for a holiday snapshot and for a screenshot of a stranger’s post.
- 1
Bring the file, not the screenshot
Location data lives in the original file. Every re-save through a chat app or an editor usually throws it away, which is why so many images arrive with nothing left to read.
- 2
Let both signals be read
GPS tags come first, because they are the strongest evidence. When they are missing, the vision model looks for the things a photographer would notice.
- 3
Keep the answer, then verify it
The place, the coordinates and the clues are saved to your account. Take them to the globe and check them against the image.

How to check what comes back
A location tool is only as good as your check. Four things worth doing before you pass a coordinate on.
Read the street furniture
Kerb colours, driving side, bollards, road markings and the shape of signage narrow a city down quickly.
Read the light and the season
Sun direction, shadow length and what is in bloom tell you roughly where in the world the image was taken, and when.
Treat every estimate as a lead
A coordinate from a model is a starting point for a search, not a verified address. If it matters, confirm it against more than one source.

What is the difference between GPS metadata and AI geolocation?
GPS metadata is a set of coordinates written into the image file by the camera — a fact about the file. AI geolocation is a prediction: a model looks at the picture and estimates the place from what it can see. This tool reads the metadata first and only falls back to the model when the tags are gone.
Can it locate a photo that was shared in a chat?
Yes, and that is exactly where the AI earns its keep. Messaging apps strip the location data from images, so a shared photo can only be read from its content — landmarks, signage and architecture carry most of the weight.
Will it find a person or a private home?
No. The tool is built for travel and places, and the terms of service rule out using it to locate or track people. Please only upload images you have the right to use.
Is there a limit on how many images I can check?
You can analyse as many images as you like. Unlocking the exact place instead of just the country is what costs: $4.99 for one image, $9.99 for three, or a monthly plan from $9.90.
How long does it take?
An image with GPS tags comes back almost immediately. One that needs the vision model usually takes a few seconds. Either way the analysis is free and no account is needed to see the country.
