How to View Your Photos on a Map Automatically

Most smartphones and digital cameras embed GPS coordinates directly into each photo’s EXIF metadata. This means your images already contain the exact latitude and longitude of where they were taken. Map My Pictures reads that data automatically and plots each photo on an interactive map — so you can instantly see your journey come together.

Getting started is easy. Just visit the Uploads page and select your images. Map My Pictures scans them for GPS information and builds a location-based map of your photos automatically.

Once processed, you’ll be able to explore your pictures on an interactive map, zoom into specific spots, and view your photo clusters by region or trip.

Seeing your photos on a map brings your memories to life. Whether it’s documenting a vacation, road trip, or day out, mapping helps you visualize your journey and remember where each picture was captured. It’s also a great way to organize and share your travel experiences with friends or clients.

To keep things organized, you can group photos into projects. For example, you might create a project for your summer vacation, a hiking trip, or a city photography day. Projects make it easy to revisit your journeys later or share them publicly with others.

You have full control over your photo maps. Choose to keep them private for personal use, share them with friends and family, or publish them publicly for others to explore. Map My Pictures puts privacy and customization first, so your photos stay secure while you decide what to show.

Stop guessing where your photos were taken — let Map My Pictures do the work for you. Upload your images and see your adventures mapped instantly, bringing your photography to life in a whole new way.
