Description
whereisthis.place is a photo geolocation tool that helps determine where a picture was taken. It offers two paths from a single upload: free EXIF GPS extraction read locally in the browser, and AI geolocation that infers location from visual cues when metadata is absent. It is built privacy-first and designed for places, not people, with no facial recognition or identity lookup.

When a photo contains GPS in its EXIF metadata, whereisthis.place shows the location instantly in the browser with no server cost and no credit charge. When GPS is missing, its vision model analyzes cues like architecture, signage, vegetation, terrain, and road markings to return up to five ranked location predictions with confidence scores, which are then resolved to place names via OpenStreetMap geocoding and shown on a map. It supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and iPhone HEIC, and processes images in memory without retaining the originals; logged-in users see only a thumbnail and result JSON in search history.
EXIF extraction is always free with no account, and new accounts receive one free AI search credit on signup. Additional AI searches use wallet credits that never expire or a Pro subscription with monthly credits and priority processing, with enterprise options available on request. The tool is aimed at OSINT researchers, journalists, and photographers who need transparent, ranked location intelligence for verification and research.
