There is no magic here. We just make it very easy to do, today's modern mobile devices allow taking pictures with embedded GPS location information along with other technical details such as the actual device that was used, photographic information etc., for this to work, “Location services” and “Geo Tagging” has to be turned on.
Using EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format), we extract this information and using a process called “Reverse Geocoding” to translate the GPS coordinates into an actual address or location on the map and nearby places.
The processing of the picture and EXIF data extraction are all done on “Client Side” only, which means that no data about your files is sent to our server and no file is uploaded. By doing so, we make this process very private for our users and boost the processing speed.
PicGPS.com is a powerful tool that can reveal sensitive location information from pictures, it can be used both for good and malicious purposes, however, all in all we believe that there are way more good things it can do than bad.
Here are some examples for what it can be used for:
