EXIF plus ranked location candidates.

Image geolocation sends a photo through EXIF parsing and vision-backed location candidates. You get ranked places with confidence-style ordering, not a single guaranteed address. Use it when metadata is stripped but scene context still suggests a region.

Outputs combine hard EXIF GPS (when the camera or phone embedded coordinates) with multiple AI-ranked regions, so you often leave with both a precise pin and broader context labels. That dual signal is what makes photo OSINT useful for travel fraud, alibi checks, and geofencing leads.

What you upload

  • JPEG or PNG from disk (dashboard upload or API multipart)
  • EXIF GPS, when present, is shown separately from AI-ranked guesses
  • Large files are resized server-side; keep originals in your case folder

What comes back

The workspace lists candidate regions or cities in order. Medium confidence means corroborate with maps and open sources before citing in a report. EXIF coordinates, when found, appear as a fixed pin distinct from the ranked list.
