How do I find the GPS location of a photo?

Drop the photo into the tool above and open the GPS tab. If the image is geotagged, you'll see the exact latitude and longitude, a pin on an interactive map, and one-tap links to open it in Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Why doesn't my photo have GPS data?

GPS is only recorded if location services were enabled when the photo was taken. Most standalone cameras don't record it without a GPS module, and social platforms usually strip location data on upload. If there's no GPS tab data, the photo wasn't geotagged or the coordinates were removed.

Can someone find my address from a photo?

Yes, if the photo is geotagged and you share the original file. The embedded coordinates can point to the exact spot it was taken, including your home. Remove the location before sharing to prevent this.

Is reading a photo's GPS private?

Yes. ExifGrabber reads the coordinates locally in your browser. The image is never uploaded. Only if you open the map are anonymous map tiles requested from the map provider for the area shown.

How photos store location

Phones with location services enabled write GPS coordinates into a photo's EXIF metadata every time you shoot, a process called geotagging. The data can include latitude, longitude, altitude, the GPS timestamp, and the direction the camera was pointing. It's invisible when you look at the picture, but any metadata reader can extract it.

What you can find

Exact latitude and longitude, plotted on a map.
Altitude and compass direction, when recorded.
The GPS timestamp (in UTC).
One-tap links to Google Maps and Apple Maps.

Worried about your own privacy?

If your photos are geotagged, sharing the original files can expose where you live. Check what a photo reveals here, then remove the EXIF and GPS data before you share it. Our guide on removing GPS location data covers every device.

Location is just one part of what your camera records. Open the full EXIF viewer to see camera, lens, exposure, and timestamp data alongside the GPS.

How to find where a photo was taken

1
Drop the photo
Drag your image onto the tool above, or click to browse. Phone photos with location on are the most likely to be geotagged.
