Geotag Images with GPS Metadata for JPG, PNG, and WebP

Geotag images in your browser. Add GPS metadata to JPG, PNG, and WebP files, understand format compatibility, batch edit image metadata, and export tagged copies.

Live workspace

Use the workspace to geotag JPG, PNG, and WebP images.

Upload a mixed batch, review formats, set GPS coordinates, apply metadata, and export tagged files with compatibility notes.

Live tool

Start geotagging in the workspace.

Load the browser workspace when you are ready to upload files, set GPS coordinates, and export tagged photos.

Upload

Choose JPG, PNG, or WebP files.

Set GPS

Use map, address search, or manual coordinates.

Export

Download one image or a batch ZIP.

Verified output model

The same coordinates can have different format compatibility.

This sample reflects the compatibility labels used by the current export workflow.

Image metadata

A geotag image workflow that explains format limits.

The page targets users who care about image file behavior, not only the act of placing a marker on a map.

  • Use this page when the source files include JPG, PNG, WebP, or mixed image batches.
  • Treat JPEG as the primary format for reliable GPS EXIF output.
  • Use PNG and WebP metadata with compatibility notes because not every viewer shows those fields.
  • Check exported files when your client, CMS, or publishing platform needs to read metadata.

JPG GPS EXIF as the reliable path

JPEG is the practical default when a geotagged image must be verified by common metadata tools.

PNG metadata with clear caveats

PNG can carry metadata, but support varies, so the page does not imply universal GPS visibility.

WebP EXIF for modern web images

WebP can store EXIF metadata, but output should be verified when another platform needs to read it.

Batch image table

Review filenames, original GPS, target GPS, format status, and per-file exceptions before export.

CSV coordinate import

Match coordinates to filenames when a job includes many images across properties or service areas.

Reports for handoff

Export verification data with filename, format, coordinate, status, and compatibility notes.

Recommended workflow

Geotag mixed image batches without pretending formats behave the same.

The best image workflow separates location accuracy from format compatibility. Coordinates can be correct even when a viewer hides metadata for PNG or WebP.

1Sort by format and purposeUse JPEG for client handoff and broad metadata verification. Use PNG or WebP when the target workflow requires those formats.
2Read existing metadata firstUpload files and check whether each image already has GPS, camera, size, title, description, or copyright fields.
3Apply coordinates and metadataUse one shared coordinate for a true batch location, or override individual images when they represent different places.
4Export and document compatibilityDownload tagged images, export a ZIP for batches, and keep the report when metadata compatibility matters.

Format map

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC do not have equal GPS metadata support.

This page is intentionally explicit about format differences so users can choose the safest output for their downstream tools.

AreaSupportPractical note
JPG/JPEGPrimary GPS EXIF supportBest for camera photos, local SEO image delivery, metadata verification, and client handoff.
PNGPartial supportUseful for design and transparent-image workflows, but metadata visibility varies across viewers.
WebPPartial EXIF supportUseful for modern websites, but metadata handling depends on the publishing and viewing stack.
HEICDetected only in v1Convert to JPEG first when you need reliable GPS EXIF output and verification.

Honest image metadata guidance is part of the product.

A geotag image page should not oversell PNG or WebP support. It should explain where metadata is reliable, where it is partial, and how users can verify the output.

  • The app labels PNG and WebP metadata as compatibility-sensitive instead of pretending every viewer behaves the same.
  • Original image processing happens locally in the browser.
  • Reports and checker links help users verify output instead of trusting a black-box export.
  • Local SEO copy stays practical and avoids ranking guarantees.

FAQ

Geotag Images questions

Practical answers about privacy, formats, GPS accuracy, exports, and local SEO workflows.

What does it mean to geotag images?+

Geotagging images means adding latitude and longitude metadata to an image file. For JPEG this usually means GPS EXIF fields. PNG and WebP can also carry metadata, but viewer and platform support is less consistent.

Why does this page focus on images instead of photos?+

The image workflow includes photo files and web-oriented formats such as PNG and WebP. It is useful when teams care about format compatibility, metadata visibility, and batch image delivery rather than only camera photos.

Can PNG images contain GPS metadata?+

PNG can carry metadata through chunks such as eXIf or XMP, but many common viewers do not expose those fields clearly. Use PNG metadata when your workflow or target system can read it.

Can WebP images contain GPS metadata?+

WebP can carry EXIF metadata in a RIFF chunk. Support varies by tool, viewer, and publishing platform, so exported WebP files should be checked before delivery.

Which image format is best for reliable geotagging?+

JPEG is still the safest choice for GPS EXIF compatibility. Use PNG or WebP when the format is required, but treat metadata visibility as partial unless your target system has been tested.

Can I geotag multiple images at once?+

Yes. Free users can process 5-image batches and export up to 10 images per day. Pro users can handle 50-image batches with no daily export cap, CSV coordinate imports, ZIP export, reports, resize, watermark, and saved location presets.

Are original images uploaded to your server?+

No. Reading metadata, writing GPS fields, resizing, watermarking, ZIP export, and report generation run in your browser. Server routes handle accounts, usage, payments, and address search.
