Frequently asked questions
Why geotag photos for Google Business Profile?
Geotagged photos give Google a location signal that reinforces the address on your Google Business Profile. When you upload photos with matching GPS coordinates, Google can better trust that your business really is where you say it is. This is a small but real ranking factor for the local map pack, especially for new profiles and businesses in competitive areas.
Is this tool safe? Do photos get uploaded anywhere?
No upload. Every step runs in your browser. The tool reads your photo into memory using the File API, edits the EXIF metadata using JavaScript, and writes the modified file back to your Downloads folder. Nothing is sent to any server. You can turn off your internet after loading the page and the geotag process still works.
Which image formats are supported?
JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) only. JPEG is the only common image format with a standardised way to store GPS coordinates in its EXIF header. PNG, WebP and HEIC do not support GPS EXIF the same way. If your photos are HEIC (from iPhone), convert them to JPEG first using the Photos app or a free converter.
Can I geotag multiple photos with the same coordinates?
Yes. Drop multiple JPEG files at once, pick a location on the map, and click Geotag and download. Each photo gets the same GPS coordinates written to its EXIF and downloads as a new file. This is common when uploading a batch of photos to your Google Business Profile from the same physical location.
How do I check if my photo already has GPS coordinates?
Drop the photo into this tool. If it already has GPS EXIF data, the map will jump to those coordinates and the latitude and longitude fields will pre-fill. Alternatively, on Mac, open the photo in Preview and choose Tools then Show Inspector then GPS. On Windows, right-click the file and choose Properties then Details then GPS.
