▸ Technical Specifications & Verification FAQ↓
An EXIF location viewer decodes binary GPS tags (0x8825) from JPEG and HEIC photos and plots them onto a WGS-84 topographic map—including altitude above sea level and the magnetic compass direction the lens was pointing.
Why does iOS sometimes hide GPS location when uploading in a browser?
On iPhone/iPad, tapping "Options" in the photo picker and enabling "Location" (or picking the file from the Files app) ensures Safari passes the original GPS bytes to the local viewer.
Can this EXIF location viewer map where the camera was pointing?
Yes! Whenever a smartphone embeds GPSImgDirection (Tag 0x0011), we display the exact compass azimuth in degrees alongside the latitude and longitude.
How can I share a photo without sharing its EXIF location?
Use our built-in EXIF Scrubber mode to strip all GPS and device tags in one click before posting online.
