How it works
Phones and many cameras save the place a photo was taken inside the file, in its EXIF metadata, next to the date and camera model. This tool reads that metadata in your browser and puts the coordinates on a map. It doesn't guess from what's in the picture, so the result is the spot where the camera actually was.
No location found? The file may have lost its metadata on the way to you. Read how to find where a photo was taken for other ways to work it out, or turn on photo location so your next photos save it.

Questions
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
- No. The photo is read by your browser on your device. Only map tiles for the area are downloaded, so the map can be drawn.
- Why does my photo have no location?
- Location is saved only when the camera had location access when the photo was taken. It's also removed by Instagram, Facebook, X and WhatsApp, and screenshots never have it.
- Does it work with iPhone HEIC photos?
- Yes. HEIC, JPEG, PNG and WebP files are supported, as long as the file still has its original metadata.
- Can I check several photos at once?
- Yes. Drop up to 50 photos and they all appear on the same map.
- How accurate is the location?
- Phone photos taken outdoors are usually accurate to 5–20 metres, less so indoors or between tall buildings.
