Project Overview
GeoTagImg writes GPS coordinates, altitude and IPTC metadata — title, keywords, copyright — straight into image files, so businesses can publish photos that carry location signals for Google Business Profile and Maps.
Behind the free tool is a complete SaaS: Google One Tap sign-in, a plans and pricing API, admin-controlled feature flags and a standalone EXIF viewer — while image processing stays in the visitor's browser.
The product ships in 15 languages, including right-to-left Urdu and Arabic, with industry-specific landing pages and a blog that together form a 680-URL multilingual sitemap.
What It Had to Do
- Geotag and edit photo metadata without uploading images to a server
- Handle whole batches of photos in a single pass
- Rank internationally for geotagging searches in 15 languages
- Let admins change limits, promotions and analytics without a redeploy
Under the Hood
Key Features
Interactive map tagging
Drag-and-drop pin placement with address search, signed coordinates and EXIF altitude, on Leaflet and OpenStreetMap.
Bulk EXIF & IPTC editing
Apply GPS, artist, credit, source, usage terms and licence fields to an entire batch with one-click “Tag All”.
Privacy-first processing
Metadata is read and written in the browser with exifr and canvas APIs — the site states images never leave the device.
EXIF Data Viewer
Reads 50+ tags from JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF and HEIC, scores “Metadata Health” and can strip location and device data.
Compression & conversion
Compresses and converts images to WebP or JPEG while keeping the embedded metadata intact.
15 languages with RTL
Every page is localized, with right-to-left layouts for Urdu and Arabic and hreflang alternates for search engines.
Industry presets
Dedicated pages for real estate, restaurants, contractors, dental clinics and SEO agencies pre-fill batch defaults.
Admin feature flags
Daily and batch limits, coupons, lifetime deals, watermarking and analytics IDs are switched from a backend panel.
