Photo Location Changer
Change the GPS location stored in a photo — or add one to a photo that has none — without uploading it anywhere. Click the map to drop the pin or type decimal coordinates; the tool rewrites the EXIF GPS fields losslessly in your browser and you download the result.

How the photo location changer works
Pick the spot in either of two ways: click anywhere on the embedded OpenStreetMap (zoom in for street-level precision) or type decimal coordinates like 48.858370, 2.294481. The tool converts them to the degree/minute/second triples EXIF uses and derives the N/S and E/W hemisphere references from the sign automatically.
On apply, the photo's metadata block is rebuilt with the new GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude while every other EXIF field — camera, dates, settings — is carried over unchanged, and the image data is copied byte for byte. The result is verified by reading the location back from the rewritten file before you download it.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I add a location to a photo that never had one?
- Yes. Scanned pictures, screenshots saved as JPG, or photos taken with geotagging off have no GPS record — pick a spot on the map and the tool writes a fresh one.
- Why would I change a photo's location?
- Common reasons: fixing a wrong geotag from a phone that had a stale GPS fix, adding places to digitized film scans so albums map correctly, or replacing your exact home coordinates with a generic city-center point before sharing. To remove the location entirely, use our EXIF remover instead.
- Does clicking the map send my photo anywhere?
- No. The photo never leaves your browser. The map view downloads OpenStreetMap tiles for the area you're looking at — that's a request for map images, and your photo bytes are never part of it.
- How precise is the written location?
- Coordinates are stored with six decimal places — sub-meter precision. Zoom the map in before clicking for street-level accuracy, or paste exact decimal coordinates from any maps app.
