Our new engine reaches 83% country accuracy and returns city-level coordinates — median error 1.8 km, 61% within 25 km on our own 69-photo benchmark of ordinary towns. Upload a photo and get a ranked location with the evidence behind it in about 25 seconds. No enterprise setup, no bullshit. Just works.
AI Geolocation, Measured Honestly
GeoLocator is an image geolocator built for OSINT enthusiasts and curious minds. Our AI reads architecture, signage, landscapes and road clues to find where a photo was taken, and tells you how sure it is.
Super Accurate
Our v4.0 engine reaches 83% country accuracy with a 1.8 km median error on our own 69-photo benchmark of ordinary towns, and every answer comes with a confidence score: answers at 80 or higher were right 91% of the time, against 42% below 80. Real numbers, not marketing fluff.
No BS
We publish our model updates, share real accuracy numbers, and document everything. No black boxes, no fake stats—just honest performance data.
Always Improving
We've pushed from v1.0 to v4.0 in under a year, and v4.0 is the first version measured on our published benchmark. Every update brings smarter reasoning. This stuff moves fast.
Built for anyone who needs to know where a photo was taken
One image in, a ranked location out — with the evidence behind it.
OSINT Research
Locate scenes from social posts and viral photos — straight from the pixels, no metadata needed.
Verification & Fact-Checking
Confirm a photo matches its claimed location before a false story spreads.
Mystery Solving
Old vacation shots, “where is this?” threads, and geo-puzzles where the answer hides in the frame.
Journalism & Creators
Verify sources and add real location context to investigations and stories.
How the AI Geolocator Works
Eyes, judgment, and a map. A vision model gathers the evidence, a decision layer weighs it against curated geolocation knowledge, and a gazetteer turns the answer into coordinates.
Visual Read
A frontier vision model reads the photo and writes down its evidence — architecture, signage and script, vehicles, vegetation — then ranks candidate countries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about GeoLocator
GeoLocator v4.0 gets the country right 83% of the time on our own benchmark of 69 real photos of ordinary towns (deliberately no famous landmarks), with a median distance error of 1.8 km and 61% of results landing within 25 km. Accuracy depends on how many visual clues are in the image (signs, licence plates, architecture, road furniture, vegetation), and every answer comes with a confidence score: on the same benchmark, answers with a confidence of 80 or higher were right 91% of the time (52 of 57), against 42% (5 of 12) below 80. How we measure
A frontier vision model reads the photo and proposes ranked country candidates with written evidence plus a nearest-town estimate, then our System One decision layer disambiguates among the top candidates using a curated knowledge base of 2,265 GeoGuessr-style meta clues across 136 countries and gives every answer a confidence score. A GeoNames gazetteer of 34,000+ cities then resolves the region and city and returns coordinates. Geo-estimation explained
About 25 seconds (a median of 24.1 seconds on our benchmark run; 9 in 10 analyses finished within 36.3 seconds). Upload a photo and you get a country, a city, coordinates and a confidence score. The demo and accounts are free.
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF straight from your phone, GIF and AVIF. Works on social media screenshots, vacation photos, aerial images and street views: anything with visual clues. No EXIF data needed; the AI just looks at what it sees.
Demo: we keep a reduced-resolution copy of your photo (metadata removed) in private storage for 30 days for abuse prevention and quality review, then delete it automatically. The analysis record is kept, and its IP address is shortened after 90 days. Signed in: we keep a small thumbnail (not the full photo) with each analysis so you can see your history, until you delete it or your account. We don't use your photos to train AI models. Read the Privacy Policy
Yes. The demo needs no account and allows 10 analyses a day. A free account adds the dashboard with your analysis history, with fair-use limits. Try the free demo
No. Reverse image search looks for copies of the same picture online, so it only helps if the photo has been published before. GeoLocator works out the location from what is in the frame (signs and script, road markings, architecture, vegetation), so it can geolocate a picture that has never been posted anywhere. How to find where a photo was taken
You may not use it to find, track or monitor a person, or for safety-critical decisions such as emergency response. Results are estimates with a confidence score and should be checked before you rely on them. Read the Terms
