About the Photo GPS Location Finder

A phone writes the coordinates into every photograph it takes unless you have turned that off. Reading them back tells you exactly where a picture was taken, to within a few metres.

That is genuinely useful for organising a travel archive or working out where an old photo was shot. It is also the single biggest privacy leak in ordinary file sharing, and the point of this page is as much to show you what your own photos are carrying as to look up someone else's. The coordinates are shown in decimal and in degrees, minutes and seconds, with links to open them in a map, plus the altitude and compass direction when the file records them.

Key features of the Photo GPS Location Finder

Both coordinate formats

Decimal degrees for pasting into a map, and degrees-minutes-seconds for anything that expects them.

Map links

Open the exact spot in the major map services, in a new tab, without the coordinates being sent anywhere first.

Altitude and bearing

Height above sea level and the compass direction the camera was facing, when the file carries them.

Parsed in the browser

Finding out whether a photo reveals your home should not involve sending it to a server, and here it does not.

Says how to turn it off

The page explains where to deny location access to the camera on both platforms.

Frequently asked questions

Either the camera never recorded one — cameras without GPS, screenshots, downloaded images — or something stripped it. Most social platforms remove it on upload.
