About Photo GPS Extractor

With this browser-based tool, you can inspect photo coordinates and view the capture location on an interactive map without sending files to an external server. It provides a secure, private way for photographers, researchers, and everyday users to inspect image metadata.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my photo not show any GPS coordinates?
If location permissions were disabled on your camera or smartphone when the photo was taken, no GPS data was recorded. Furthermore, social media platforms and messaging apps routinely strip EXIF metadata during upload.
Is it safe to inspect private photos using this tool?
Yes. The tool runs locally in your web browser using client-side scripts. Your photos are never uploaded or stored on Doffl servers.
Which image file formats contain GPS coordinates?
GPS coordinates are typically supported in JPEG, JPG, HEIC, TIFF, and select camera RAW formats that record standard EXIF metadata.
How can I open the extracted coordinates in Google Maps?
Copy the latitude and longitude values generated by the tool and paste them directly into the search bar of Google Maps or any standard mapping service.
Can I use this tool to delete location data from my photo?
This tool is built solely to read and display existing location data. To remove embedded coordinates, you will need an EXIF metadata remover tool.
