New (drag or click map) Current EXIF location·© OpenStreetMap
How to use
01
Upload the photo
Click the upload square and pick a JPG, PNG, or WebP. Any GPS already stored in the file appears in the Current geotags field and as a blue marker on the map.
02
Set the new location
Search a place name, click the map, drag the red pin, tap a city preset, paste lat, lng from Google Maps, or hit My location. Optional altitude, keywords, and description fields ride along.
03
Write EXIF tags and download
Click Write EXIF tags. The tool writes the coordinates, reads the file back to verify the GPS tag parses, then Download saves a copy named with a -geotagged suffix.
Why Image Geotag Generator
- Interactive map: search, click to place, and drag the pin to fine-tune.
- Shows the photo's current EXIF location (blue) and your new one (red) side by side.
- One-click Use my location via your browser's GPS.
- Writes real EXIF GPS, keywords, and description tags — JPEG quality untouched.
- Tags verified by reading the file back before download.
- Your photo never leaves the browser; only location searches go to OpenStreetMap.
Common questions
How does the geotag generator write exif gps data into my photo?
For JPEGs it inserts GPS latitude, longitude, and optional altitude tags directly into the EXIF segment as a metadata-only edit, so image quality is untouched. It then re-reads the output to confirm the tags parse before offering the download. PNG and WebP files get converted to high-quality JPEG first, since the GPS tags live in the JPEG container here.
Is it possible to geotag a photo that already has a location?
Yes. The existing coordinates show as a blue circle on the map and in the read-only Current geotags field, while your new position is the red pin. Writing replaces the old GPS values, and re-uploading the downloaded file will show the blue dot at the new spot.
Does adding a geotag change photo quality?
Not for JPEG input: the edit only touches metadata bytes, so the pixels pass through untouched. PNG and WebP uploads are the exception, since they're re-encoded to JPEG at 0.95 quality to hold the EXIF, which is visually close to the original but is still a re-encode.
Will geotagging images improve my local SEO?
Treat it as a minor, unconfirmed signal at best. Google mostly reads context from the page the image sits on, and many platforms strip EXIF on upload anyway. Where geotags clearly earn their keep is Google Business Profile uploads, real estate listings, and stock libraries that index location metadata.
What's the fastest way to get coordinates for a geotag?
If you know the spot, paste lat, lng straight from Google Maps into the search box and the pin jumps there. Otherwise search the place name through OpenStreetMap's geocoder, or click My location to use your browser's position with an IP-based fallback.
Is my photo uploaded when I geotag it here?
No. Reading, writing, and verifying the EXIF all happen in your browser's memory. The only network traffic is the place-name text sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim geocoder when you search, plus the map tiles themselves. The image never leaves your machine.
Besides coordinates, can the geotag carry keywords or a description?
Yes, all three are optional. Altitude is written in meters alongside the coordinates, keywords go in comma separated and are stored in the metadata, and the description doubles as alternative text for software that reads it.
Why would anyone geotag stock or listing photos at all?
Consistency and provenance. A property listing where every photo carries the property's coordinates is easier to organize and harder to mix up, and some stock platforms display or index location. It also restores information the camera would've recorded if GPS had been switched on.
