Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about GeoImageTagger — from getting started to advanced workflows.
Getting Started
What is GeoImageTagger?
GeoImageTagger is an AI-powered online tool that detects locations in your images, generates relevant tags and descriptions, and embeds GPS coordinates and EXIF metadata directly into your image files.
Do I need an account?
You can upload and preview images without an account. To process images ("Analyze & Tag") and download results, you need a free account. Sign up takes seconds — no credit card required.
What image formats are supported?
GeoImageTagger supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, and HEIC. The tool preserves the original format when possible and converts only when necessary for metadata embedding.
Features & Capabilities
How accurate is the AI location detection?
Accuracy depends on visible landmarks, text, signage, architecture, or other distinctive features in your images. If the AI cannot detect a location, you can set it manually using the search bar (with autocomplete), by typing coordinates, or by clicking the map.
What metadata is written to my images?
GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), AI-generated descriptions, keyword tags, and standard EXIF fields are embedded directly into each image file using ExifTool.
Can I edit the AI-generated tags and descriptions?
Yes. Every field is fully editable before processing. You can add, remove, or rewrite tags and descriptions on a per-image basis.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Yes. Free plan users can upload up to 2 images per run, and Pro plan users can upload up to 10. Each image is processed individually with its own tags, description, and location data.
What download formats are available?
Download tagged images individually, as a ZIP file with all images plus JSON metadata, or as a CSV file with a summary of all metadata fields (filenames, coordinates, tags, descriptions).
What languages are supported?
GeoImageTagger supports multi-language tag and description generation. You can generate content in English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and more. Switch languages at any time during your workflow.
What is Manual Mode?
Manual Mode lets you write your own descriptions, tags, and set locations yourself — without using AI. This is useful when you know exactly what metadata you want, or when you want to tag images without consuming your AI quota.
Is there a Metadata Viewer tool?
Yes. GeoImageTagger includes a free Metadata Viewer available as a standalone tool at /tools/metadata-viewer. It lets you upload any image and inspect its EXIF data, GPS location on a map, camera info, tags, and descriptions — without modifying the file.
Can I use GeoImageTagger for Google Business Profile?
Yes. Geotag your business photos with GPS coordinates, AI-generated descriptions, and location-specific keyword tags. Upload the tagged images to Google Business Profile to strengthen your local search presence with geographic context.
What metadata fields are written into my images?
GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), image descriptions, and keyword tags are written into EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata fields using ExifTool. This ensures maximum compatibility with search engines, CMS platforms, photo management software, and digital asset management systems.
Does GeoImageTagger work on mobile?
GeoImageTagger is a web-based tool that works in any modern mobile browser. Upload photos directly from your phone, set locations, and download tagged images — no app installation required.
Can AI-generated descriptions be used as alt text?
Yes. The AI generates natural-language descriptions suitable for use as image alt text, improving accessibility and image SEO. You can edit descriptions before processing to fine-tune them for your specific use case.
Are there free tools besides the main tagger?
Yes. GeoImageTagger includes three free standalone tools available without sign-up: a Metadata Viewer for inspecting EXIF/GPS/IPTC/XMP data, an Image Compressor for reducing file sizes with full metadata preservation, and an Image Converter for converting between JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and TIFF.
