GPS Metadata Viewer

Upload a photo to see exactly where it was taken, plotted on a map, processed entirely in your browser.

This free GPS metadata viewer extracts the exact location where a photo was taken, straight from its embedded EXIF data. Drop in a JPG, PNG, HEIC, or TIFF file and the tool reads the GPS coordinates recorded by your camera or phone, then plots that location on an interactive map so you can see precisely where the shot was captured.

Unlike most tools that let you extract gps metadata from image files, this one never sends your photo anywhere. Every byte is read directly in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded to a server, stored, or shared with a third party. That makes it a practical way to view photo gps metadata for a single image or an entire folder, one file at a time, without giving up control of your files.

This image gps metadata viewer is useful in a few common situations: photographers organizing shoots by location, travelers sorting through a trip’s worth of photos and trying to remember where each one was taken, and privacy-conscious people who want to check exactly what location data a photo reveals before posting it online. Camera phones often embed precise GPS coordinates by default, and many people do not realize this until it matters. Use this jpg gps metadata tool to check before you share, or just to rediscover where a favorite photo was taken.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF GPS metadata in photos?+

Many cameras and smartphones embed GPS coordinates directly into a photo's EXIF metadata when location services are enabled. This includes latitude, longitude, and sometimes altitude, recorded at the moment the photo was taken.

How do I extract GPS metadata from a photo?+

Upload your photo above. The tool reads the embedded GPS tags from the EXIF data directly in your browser and displays the coordinates along with a map showing the exact location - no upload to any server required.

How do I get GPS coordinates from an image?+

Once you upload a photo, if it contains location data, the latitude and longitude will appear in the GPS section along with a pin on the map. You can copy these coordinates directly.

How do I find the address from a photo's GPS metadata?+

The map view shows the approximate location visually. For a precise street address, you can copy the latitude and longitude coordinates shown and paste them into Google Maps or another mapping service.

Does this work with JPG photos, and what about video files?+

Yes, this tool supports JPG, PNG, HEIC, and TIFF images. Video files like MP4 store GPS metadata differently and are not currently supported by this tool - a dedicated video metadata tool would be needed for that format.
