Place finder tools
There are several online tools that are able to find a place from an image automatically, though their accuracy differs depending on the popularity of the location, how clear the image is, and how much the place has changed since the day the photo was taken.
As an example, we will be using the image of the Former Seoul Station Building, which is located at 37.5564° N, 126.9717° E. This way, we will be able to properly compare the tools.
Here are our top picks:
Lenso.ai
Lenso.ai is great at finding possible places. What differentiates it from other tools we mentioned is that it finds many different images of the place, while other engines give us one specific location. Lenso.ai place search works great on mobile and desktop, and it’s ad-free.
Google Image Search
Google search is sure to find results for nearly any image for free. When we search for popular locations, it will usually show us a map and a short description from Wikipedia, making it a quick tool that combines multiple features.
Find Picture Location
Find Picture Location is a free AI-powered tool. It works by detecting EXIF GPS data when available, or by analyzing visual elements in the image to suggest possible locations. You’ll receive location suggestions with a built-in Google map.
You can find more propositions in the video below:
Find a place using photo GPS data (EXIF data)
Some photos contain EXIF data. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data includes camera settings, date, and time the photo was taken. To check EXIF:
- Desktop: Right-click the photo file, select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), and navigate to the "Details" or "More Info" tab. This will show the time and date the photo was taken.
- On a phone: On iPhone, go to the gallery, pick a photo, and click the “Information” icon. Android users can go to the gallery, pick a photo, and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
- Online Tools: Some tools allow you to upload an image or enter a URL to reveal the EXIF data. This will help you identify the exact time of day the shot was taken.
Note that EXIF data is not always available. Especially if an image has been edited or compressed.
Ask AI like Chat GPT
AI can be surprisingly good at finding places from image. Just ask Chat GPT for more information on the location, and it will provide you with the necessary information.
Ask online communities
There are online forums that can help you find a place from a photo. You can try your luck on subreddits such as:
You can also visit your local Facebook groups if you know the approximate location.
We hope these methods helped you find the place you were looking for!
