Find Out Where Someone Is From Their Photo
Ever wonder where your friend is vacationing from their photos? Upload any image to discover the exact location where it was taken. Our tool combines AI landmark recognition with photo metadata analysis to pinpoint locations from pictures sent via text, email, or direct message.
Find Locations From Photo Metadata
When someone sends you a photo directly through text messages, email, AirDrop, or messaging apps, the image often contains hidden GPS coordinates embedded in the file. Upload these photos to instantly see exactly where they were taken—down to the precise latitude and longitude. Perfect for finding out where friends are traveling without having to ask.
Identify Locations From Any Image
Even when metadata has been removed (like photos from Instagram, Facebook, or screenshots), our AI can still identify where a photo was taken. By analyzing landmarks, buildings, scenery, and geographic features, we can determine the location from visual clues alone. Upload screenshots or saved social media images to discover where they were captured.
Tip: Photos sent directly via text message or messaging apps typically retain their location data, while photos downloaded from social media platforms usually have this information removed. Our AI works with both types!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find where a photo was taken?
Simply upload your image using our drag-and-drop interface or click to browse. Our AI-powered photo location finder analyzes the image for landmarks, scenery patterns, and GPS metadata to identify where the photo was taken. Results typically appear within seconds, showing you the location, confidence level, and coordinates.
Can you identify location from old photos?
Yes! Our AI can identify locations from both modern and historical images. The system analyzes architectural features, landscape characteristics, and visual landmarks that remain consistent over time. Even vintage photographs from decades ago can be successfully analyzed to determine where they were captured.
Does this work with screenshots?
Absolutely! Our photo location finder works with screenshots, downloaded images, and photos from any source. Whether it's a screenshot from social media, a saved image from the web, or an original photo, our AI can analyze the visual content to identify the location where the image was taken.
What information does the photo location finder use?
Our system uses multiple data sources for accurate results: GPS coordinates embedded in EXIF metadata (if available), AI-powered visual analysis of landmarks and scenery, architectural features and landscape patterns, and camera information. By combining these approaches, we provide the most accurate location identification possible.
Can I find someone's location from a photo they sent me?
Yes! Photos sent directly via text, email, or messaging apps often contain GPS metadata showing exactly where the photo was taken. Upload the image to extract this location data. Note that photos downloaded from social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook typically have location data removed for privacy.
Do screenshots have location data?
Screenshots themselves don't contain location metadata, but our AI can identify where the original photo was taken by analyzing landmarks, buildings, and scenery visible in the image.
Can you track someone's location from Instagram photos?
While Instagram removes GPS metadata from uploaded photos, our AI can still identify locations by recognizing landmarks and geographic features in the image. This works for screenshots or saved Instagram photos.
