GPS Editor
Phones and many cameras save the latitude and longitude where a photo was taken inside the file. That location can be rewritten to a different spot or deleted, without changing the picture itself.
How to change the location of a photo
Add your photos
Drop one or more JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC photos, click to browse, or paste from your clipboard. A single photo shows the location it already holds.
Choose the new spot
Click the map to drop a pin, type coordinates, or paste a Google Maps, Apple Maps, or OpenStreetMap link. To clear the location instead, pick Remove location.
Save and download
Press the save button. Each photo is rewritten with the new location, checked, and downloaded under its original name, as a ZIP when there are several.
Why use this tool
Click a map or paste a link
Drop a pin anywhere in the world, or paste coordinates in decimal or degrees, minutes and seconds. Google Maps, Apple Maps, and OpenStreetMap links are read automatically.
Set, move, or remove
Give photos a location they never had, move one that is wrong, or delete it entirely. One setting covers a whole batch.
No leftovers from the old spot
Every GPS field is cleared before the new one is written, so the old altitude, direction, and timestamp do not survive a move.
Checked before download
Each saved copy is read back. A photo is only offered once it holds exactly the new location, or none at all when removing.
Picture left untouched
Only the location fields change. The image itself is not re-saved, so there is no quality loss, and camera details and dates stay as they were.
Works on iPhone photos
HEIC photos from iPhones are edited directly and stay HEIC, alongside JPG, PNG, and WebP.
About this tool
Most phones save the exact place a photo was taken, down to a few metres, inside the file. Anyone you send the original to can read it. Sometimes that location is wrong, for example when a camera without GPS is matched to the wrong place, and sometimes it is simply nobody else's business. This tool rewrites that one piece of information and leaves the rest of the photo alone.
To set a location, click the map or paste a link from a maps app. With a single photo the map opens on the spot already saved, so a small correction is one click. With several photos, the same location is written to all of them. Removing the location clears latitude, longitude, altitude, direction, and the GPS time, and the saved copy is checked to make sure none of it is left.
Your photos are read and saved in your browser, and the photo reader downloads once, about 7 MB. The map pictures come from OpenStreetMap, and only the map area you are looking at is requested. To see every other detail a photo carries, open it in the EXIF viewer. To remove every kind of hidden data at once, not only the location, use the metadata stripper or the EXIF remover.
Frequently asked questions
- How does it change the location?
- It clears the GPS fields stored in the photo and writes new latitude and longitude values in their place. The image data is copied unchanged, then the new file is read back to confirm it holds the location you chose.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. Photos are read and rewritten in your browser and never leave your device. The map pictures are loaded from OpenStreetMap, which sees only which part of the map is on screen, never your photo or the pin.
- Which file types work?
- JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC or HEIF photos. Each photo keeps its format and its file name. RAW camera files and videos are not supported.
- Will apps like Google Photos or Apple Photos show the new place?
- They read the same GPS fields, so a photo imported after editing shows the new location. A photo already in a library may keep the location the app stored when it was first imported.
- Can I add a location to a photo that has none?
- Yes. Choose Set location, drop a pin, and save. The tool writes a complete GPS entry even if the photo never had one.
- Are there any limits?
- Each photo is processed in memory, so very large batches take a while on slower devices. The location is precise to about ten centimetres, more than any phone records.
