Quelles Is Reverse Geocoding for Images?
- Converts GPS coordinates embedded in photos to human-readable addresses
- Uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim API for accurate address lookup
- Displays full address: street, city, state/province, country
- Interactive map showing the exact photo location
- Works with any image that contains GPS EXIF data
- Supports DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) and decimal coordinate formats
- Completely free and private — coordinates are sent to OpenStreetMap, not the image itself
FAQ
Quelles is reverse geocoding?
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a human-readable address. For photos, it means turning the GPS data embedded in your image into a street address.
Quelles geocoding service is used?
We use the Nominatim API from OpenStreetMap — a free, open-source geocoding service. Only the GPS coordinates are sent to the API, not your actual image.
Pourquoi is the address approximate?
Geocoding accuracy depends on OpenStreetMap's coverage for the area. Urban areas typically have precise addresses, while rural or remote locations may show less specific results.
