Geotagging is the process of adding geographic metadata — specifically GPS latitude and longitude coordinates — to a digital photo’s EXIF data. When you geotag a photo, the location information is embedded invisibly inside the image file itself. Search engines, photo apps and social platforms can then read this data to understand where the photo was taken.

Yes — Geotag Photos Online is 100% free to use with no hidden fees, no account required, and no daily limits. You can geotag as many photos as you need. We are developing a premium version for agencies with bulk processing features, but the core tool will always be free.

No. All geotagging happens entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never sent to our servers. The GPS metadata is applied client-side and the processed file is generated directly on your device. This makes our geotag photo online tool completely private and secure.

Yes, geotagged photos can be a supporting signal for local SEO. When you upload GPS-tagged images to Google Business Profile, Google uses location data to better understand and verify your business location. Studies by local SEO practitioners have shown that businesses using geotagged photos see improved visibility in local search results and Google Maps.

Our free geotag photo editor supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP image formats. EXIF GPS metadata embedding works best with JPEG files as the format natively supports full EXIF data. PNG files are also processed and location data is embedded where format support allows.

Simply upload the photo to our tool, search for the location on the map where the photo was taken, drag the pin to the exact spot, fill in any optional EXIF fields, and click Apply Geotag. You can add GPS location data to any photo — even ones taken without location services. This is how to add geotag to existing photos without any special software.

Absolutely not. There are zero watermarks, logos, or overlays on your downloaded geotagged photo. The image looks identical to the original — the GPS metadata is embedded invisibly inside the EXIF data, not printed on the image itself.

The location accuracy depends on how precisely you place the map pin. Our Leaflet.js interactive map allows you to zoom in to street level and place the pin with approximately 1-5 meter accuracy. You can also type exact decimal GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) directly into the fields for maximum precision.

Yes! Our geo tag photo tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can upload photos from your device’s photo library, tap to set the location on the map, and download the geotagged image directly to your phone. It works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and all modern mobile browsers.

Unlike GeoImgr and Geoify, our tool is completely free with no signup, adds no watermarks, processes everything in your browser for privacy, and includes a full EXIF metadata editor (not just GPS coordinates). We also offer business name, alt text, and keyword fields specifically designed for local SEO use cases.
