Photo Location Finder figures out where any photo was taken. It combines GPS metadata extraction, landmark recognition, reverse image search, and advanced AI visual reasoning — reading architecture, vegetation, signage, vehicle types, and terrain — to return a precise map pin with a confidence level and the reasoning behind the guess.
When the first-pass confidence is medium or low, a second refinement layer pulls nearby street-level imagery and runs a visual match pass to pin the exact spot. The result is a geographic coordinate, a confidence rating (exact/high/medium/low), up to four alternative locations, and a list of the visual clues that informed the answer. An interactive map card is included in the output.
What you can do
- Identify the location of any photo from visual clues alone
- Read raw EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates, camera model, lens, and timestamp
- Ask follow-up questions alongside the location guess — "which neighbourhood?" or "Greece or Turkey?"
- Run reverse image search as an additional signal for famous or widely-shared photos
- Get up to four alternative location guesses with reasons for each
Who it's for
Journalists verifying the source of images, travel photographers cataloguing their work, investigators cross-checking photo claims, real estate professionals verifying listing photos, and curious people who want to know where a striking image was shot.
How to use it
- Use locate_photo with any publicly accessible image URL
- Add a questions parameter to get specific follow-up answers alongside the location
- Use read_exif to quickly check whether a photo has embedded GPS coordinates before running the full pipeline
- For ambiguous results, provide extra context in the questions field to narrow the guess
Getting started
No setup required — pass any public image URL to run the full location analysis pipeline.
