What is geotagging a photo?

Geotagging a photo means embedding GPS location data — latitude, longitude, and sometimes altitude — into the image's EXIF metadata. This lets apps like Google Photos, Apple Photos, and Google Maps display where the photo was taken on a map.

How do I geotag a photo online for free?

Upload your photo on EDVIDA's free geotag tool, click your location on the map or enter latitude and longitude manually, then click "Add GPS Location to Photo Now" to download the geotagged image. No signup required.

How to geotag a photo for the CBSE OASIS portal?

Take your batch photo in the exam lab, upload it to EDVIDA's geotag tool, enter your school's GPS coordinates, set the correct exam date and time, download the geotagged image, and upload it to saras.cbse.gov.in/oasis.

Can I add GPS location to an existing photo?

Yes. This tool is specifically designed to add GPS EXIF data to photos that were taken without location services enabled, or where you want to assign a specific location. Upload any existing photo and add the coordinates you need.

Does geotagging reduce image quality?

No. Only EXIF metadata is modified. The pixel data of your image is not changed in any way, so there is zero quality loss.

Does this geotag tool work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. This is a browser-based tool that works on all devices — iPhone, Android phones, tablets, Windows, and Mac — without any app installation. Open it in Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser.

What image formats does this geotag tool support?

This tool supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone), and WEBP images. All formats are converted to JPEG during the geotagging process, which is the standard format for EXIF GPS data.

How do I find my latitude and longitude?

Click your location directly on the map in this tool — it will automatically fill in the coordinates. Alternatively, open Google Maps, long-press your location, and the latitude and longitude will appear at the top of the screen.

Can geotagged photos help with Google My Business local SEO?

Yes. Uploading geotagged photos to your Google Business Profile gives Google additional location signals associated with your listing, which can strengthen your local search relevance.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your photos are never sent to or stored on any external server. This tool is 100% private and secure.

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing metadata inside image files. It can contain camera settings, the date and time a photo was taken, and GPS coordinates. Geotagging writes the GPS latitude and longitude into the EXIF data of your photo.

How do I verify that my photo has been geotagged correctly?

On Windows: right-click the image → Properties → Details tab → look for GPS Latitude/Longitude. On Mac: open in Preview → Tools → Show Inspector → GPS tab. You can also upload it to exifdata.com to view all embedded metadata.

Geotag Photo for CBSE Practical Exam & OASIS Portal

CBSE requires schools to submit geotagged and timestamped photographs for practical examination activities. This tool can be used to prepare a photo with GPS location and the required date and time before uploading it to the appropriate CBSE portal.

Step-by-step for CBSE

1. Take the group photograph inside the examination laboratory.
2. Open this tool on your phone or desktop browser.
3. Upload the group photograph.
4. Select your school's location on the map or enter its exact coordinates.
5. Set the date and time to match the examination date and time.
6. Click Add GPS Location to Photo Now and download the resulting image.
7. Upload the downloaded image to the appropriate CBSE portal/batch.

File size tip: If the destination portal has a file-size limit, compress the photograph before uploading it. Adding EXIF metadata itself normally adds only a small amount of data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about geotagging photos online.

Geotagging a photo means embedding GPS location data such as latitude and longitude into the image EXIF metadata. Applications that read EXIF data can then use this information to identify the location associated with the photograph.

Upload your photo using the tool above, select a location on the map or enter latitude and longitude manually, set the required date and time, and use the geotagging button to generate your image.

Upload the required examination photograph, select the school or examination location on the map, set the appropriate date and time, generate the geotagged image, and then upload the resulting image according to the current CBSE portal requirements.

Yes. The tool is designed to add GPS EXIF information to an existing photograph. You can select the location and coordinates independently of when the original photograph was taken.

Adding EXIF metadata does not itself change the visual pixels of an image. Depending on the processing and output format used, the resulting file may have a slightly different file size.

Yes. The tool works through a modern mobile or desktop browser, including common browsers on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.

The tool supports the image formats configured by the uploader and processing pipeline, including commonly used formats such as JPG/JPEG, PNG, HEIC and WEBP where supported by the server and browser environment.

You can select the location directly on the map. The tool automatically fills the latitude and longitude fields when a map location is selected. You can also enter known coordinates manually.

Geotagged photographs contain location metadata that can provide geographic context when the image is used elsewhere. However, photo metadata should not be treated as a guaranteed ranking factor for local search.

The page is designed to process images without retaining them as a permanent user asset. The exact handling depends on the processing workflow implemented by the application.

EXIF, or Exchangeable Image File Format metadata, is information stored inside image files. It can include camera information, date and time, orientation and GPS coordinates.

After downloading the image, you can inspect its metadata using an EXIF viewer or an operating-system image information panel and check whether GPS latitude and longitude values are present.
