GeoTag tool
Embed GPS/EXIF details into photos in the browser: JPEG, up to 5 MB, coordinates by hand if needed.
The Location Tag tool embeds EXIF metadata (GPS location + title, subject, author, rating, tags, description) into a JPEG photo, entirely in the browser. It runs from the Location Tag screen; image processing happens in your browser — the raw image isn't sent to a server.
How to use it
- On the Location Tag screen, drag a JPEG onto the page or choose one (up to 5 MB, Google's limit for business photos).
- Latitude and longitude start from your business's location; "Use business location" fills them in again. If your business has no location, the fields start empty and you enter the coordinates by hand — nothing is written as 0,0.
- Optional EXIF fields: title and subject (default: business name), author, a 0–5 star rating, tags (type and press Enter) and a description.
- "Write details to photo" → then Download, or Upload to Google (sends it to the business's Google gallery; only roles that can manage the business profile see this button).
What this tool does, and doesn't
Google may not keep the location data of an uploaded photo. This tool only edits the photo's own details; it isn't a ranking tool. It also does NOT add fabricated camera make/model or capture dates — only real coordinates + business details are embedded.
What it's good for
- Adds consistent business coordinates + title/tag details to your photos before uploading.
- You can download the processed file and reuse it elsewhere (site, directories) with the same details.
Note: the normal photo upload flow can auto-geotag an image if the business has coordinates; the Location Tag tool is a separate surface for doing this manually and in detail.
