Pic2Map alternative to find where a photo was taken. Extract GPS coordinates, altitude and heading from EXIF and view the exact spot on OpenStreetMap & Google Maps. JPEG, HEIC, RAW.
JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, RAW — with or without GPS
Drop a photo here, or click to browse
Pic2Map is an online EXIF viewer that reads GPS coordinates from a photo and drops a pin on a map — the fastest answer to “where was this photo taken” and “where was this picture taken”. This photo location finder does the same — and more: it extracts the full GPS block plus camera, lens and shot settings in your browser, shows latitude, longitude, altitude and heading to six decimal places, and opens the spot on OpenStreetMap and Google Maps without publishing your image to a public gallery.
Decimal degrees + DMS, ~1 m accuracy. One-click copy.
Make, model, lens, focal length, aperture, ISO, shutter and software — beyond what Pic2Map shows.
Processed server-side via ExifTool. No public gallery, no search-engine indexing of your photo.
Pic2Map (pic2map.com) is a free service built on Phil Harvey's ExifTool. You drop a JPEG, it reads EXIF tags and — if geotagging was enabled when the shot was taken — plots the location on a Here/Google map with reverse geocoding (human-readable address). Without GPS it falls back to a basic EXIF viewer showing shutter speed, aperture, ISO and similar fields.

Three steps. No software to install.
JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF or RAW. EXIF is read without re-encoding pixels.
If a GPS block exists (tag 0x8825 → GPS IFD), latitude, longitude, altitude and heading appear with UTC timestamp.
One click opens the exact spot on OpenStreetMap and Google Maps. Copy decimal degrees for any GIS.
Formats & precision
EXIF stores latitude/longitude as degrees/minutes/seconds rationals (64-bit). The tool converts to six-decimal decimal degrees (≈ 0.11 m at the equator). Altitude is meters above sea level (GPSAltitude + GPSAltitudeRef). Heading is 0–359.99° (GPSImgDirection + GPSImgDirectionRef = T for true north, M for magnetic).
The full GPS block plus contextual camera fields that help correlate multiple shots. Read-only — your file is never modified.
| Field | What it reveals | Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|
| Latitude / Longitude | Exact shutter location, ~1 m accuracy | Very high |
| Altitude | Height above sea level — can indicate floor | High |
| Heading (bearing) | Lens direction 0–360° | Medium |
| GPS speed | Movement at shutter time (drones, dashcams) | Low |
| GPS date/time (UTC) | Satellite timestamp, independent of camera clock | Medium |
| Camera make & model | Device used | Medium |
| Lens & focal length | Optics, 35 mm equivalent | Low |
| Exposure (ISO, aperture, shutter) | Capture settings | Low |
| Date taken | DateTimeOriginal vs GPSDateStamp — spot clock drift | Medium |
Quick check on iPhone: open photo in Photos, swipe up — map appears if GPS exists. On Android: image Details → Location.

Need every IPTC/XMP field? Use the full EXIF Viewer. To strip before sharing: Remove EXIF.
A geotagged photo exposes your home, workplace or children's school to anyone who gets the original file. EXIF location is invisible to the eye but readable in two clicks.
Exact address, floor (altitude), viewing direction, date and device — all correlatable.
Remove the GPS block (or all EXIF) without re-encoding pixels.
Re-drop the cleaned image here to confirm "No location tag found".
You found a photo — on WhatsApp, Google Images or a friend's camera roll — and you want to know where is this place. The fastest way is not reverse image search. If you have the original file, the GPS inside the EXIF already holds the answer. Drop it here and this image location finder reads the coordinates and drops a pin you can open in OpenStreetMap or Google Maps. That is exactly what people mean when they search where is this place located, where is this located or where is this at or where is this location: get a photo location you can navigate to, not a guess.
The same applies when you ask where is this photo from, where is this picture from or where is this image from. The EXIF stores more than coordinates — it stores when was this photo taken, device model and lens. So whether you typed where was this photo taken, where was this picture taken, where was this image taken or where is this picture taken, the result is identical: latitude, longitude, altitude and heading extracted and visualized on a photo map. From there you can get image location, copy the location from image or use it as a geo finder to visualize GPS and share the link. It also handles where is the picture, where is this image taken, where is this image and where is this taken — all variants of the same GPS lookup.
Beyond location, the tool is a full image metadata viewer and picture metadata viewer. Think of it as an online exif viewer or exif reader online that inspects the raw data exif — every tag from image metadata and metadata from photo. As a metadata checker you can confirm find location from image vs find location from picture, run an image location finder or picture location finder check, and answer how to find where a picture was taken for your own shots or how do I find out where a photo was taken that someone sent you. That is how you find location of taken pictures without leaving your browser.
Pic2Map is free with no account. This tool requires a free account with included quota and works without a paid plan for occasional use.
Upload the original photo here. If it contains a GPS block, the tool extracts latitude and longitude and drops a pin on OpenStreetMap and Google Maps. Use it as an image metadata viewer and online exif viewer to see every tag.
Same workflow: drop the original JPEG, HEIC or RAW. The exif reader online reads the EXIF data and shows get image location, location from image and photo location on a photo map with altitude and heading.
No. Without a GPS block (tag 0x8825 missing), no coordinates can be reconstructed. The tool then shows 'No location tag' and any remaining device info. Use the picture metadata viewer and metadata checker to verify image metadata and metadata from photo.
No. Instagram, Facebook, X and WhatsApp strip GPS on upload. Only original files retain image location finder data. Asking where is this image from or where is this photo from still needs the source file.
After upload, copy the line '12.345678 deg N, 1.234567 deg E'. It is GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude converted to decimal degrees. Use find location from image, find location from picture or geo finder to visualize GPS and share the photo map link.
EXIF Map Viewer focuses on the GPS map alone. Pic2Map shows GPS plus full device data with lens, exposure and software. It also works as an image location finder and picture location finder to find location of taken pictures.
Continue with the EXIF suite — view, clean or fix.
