What Is My Location

Where Was This Photo Taken?

Drop a photo here and its embedded GPS position (EXIF) is read directly in your browser — the file never leaves your device, unlike upload-based tools. If coordinates exist you'll see the exact spot on the map with the capture time and camera; you can also download a copy with the location stripped before posting anywhere.

The privacy story your camera writes

Phones embed GPS coordinates, timestamps and camera details into every photo by default. Send the original file (email, cloud drives, many messengers' "document" mode) and the recipient can read your exact position — this page shows you precisely what they'd see. The good news: most social networks strip EXIF on upload, and both iOS and Android can share "without location". The Strip location & download button here re-renders the image in your browser, producing a clean copy with no metadata at all.

What this reads (and honest limits)

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read by JavaScript in your browser; the EXIF bytes never leave your device. You can verify in the network tab: no upload request exists.
Why does my photo show no location?
Screenshots, edited exports, and images downloaded from social networks usually have EXIF stripped already. Also, camera apps only embed GPS when location permission was granted at capture time.
Does stripping the location reduce quality?
The clean copy is re-rendered at high JPEG quality — visually indistinguishable for sharing, though technically a re-compression. The original file on your device is untouched.
