Photo GPS Extractor — Read Location from Photo EXIF
Read GPS coordinates, altitude, direction and time from photo EXIF data, plot photos on a map and export CSV, GeoJSON, GPX or KML — privately.
🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploadedFind where your photos were taken
Most smartphones and many cameras embed the shooting location in each photo as EXIF metadata. This extractor reads that information for a whole batch of pictures at once and lists the latitude and longitude of every photo that has it, in decimal degrees and in degrees, minutes and seconds. You also get the altitude, the direction the camera was facing, the time the picture was taken and the camera model. Photos without a location are listed separately, so you can see at a glance which files were tagged.
Plot and export
All tagged photos are drawn together on an SVG plot fitted to their bounding box. Point numbers match the table, a short amber line shows the camera heading when it is recorded, and hovering a point shows the file name. The plot deliberately uses no map tiles, so no third-party service learns where your photos were taken. For deeper analysis download the result as CSV for a spreadsheet, GeoJSON for web mapping and QGIS, GPX waypoints for GPS devices and hiking apps, or KML placemarks for Google Earth. Text cells in the CSV are protected against spreadsheet formula injection.
Privacy: what GPS metadata reveals
Location metadata is one of the most sensitive pieces of information hidden in a photo. Precise coordinates can point to a home, a workplace or a school, and timestamps reveal when you were there. Many social networks remove EXIF data on upload, but email attachments, cloud links and direct file transfers usually keep it. Use this page to audit what your photos disclose before you share them. Everything happens in your browser: the files are read through the File API, parsed with a small EXIF library and never transmitted. If you find GPS data you do not want to share, strip the metadata from a copy with an image metadata remover before publishing it.
How to use

- Review the locationsEach photo with GPS data appears in the table in decimal degrees and DMS, with altitude, direction, time taken and camera.
- See them on the plotAll photo positions are drawn together on a tile-free map fitted to their bounds, numbered to match the table.
- Export the dataDownload the locations as CSV, GeoJSON, GPX waypoints or KML for GIS software, Google Earth or a spreadsheet.
