Mac · iPad · iPhone
Your camera knows when.
Your iPhone knows where.
Record a GPS track on your iPhone while you shoot. Later, point EasyGeotag at a folder of photos — it matches each frame to where you were standing and writes the coordinates into the file.
Five photos free. One purchase unlocks all three apps.
Two halves of the same fact, stored in different places.
In the photograph
2026:08:06
08:04:00
EXIF puts the shutter time in the file. Every camera does this, and nothing else.
In your pocket
46.5984° N
7.9055° E
Your phone logged where you stood at 08:04:00, to within a few metres.
Matching them is arithmetic. Doing it for six hundred frames, across a timezone, with a camera clock that runs four minutes fast, is not.
The whole workflow
Three steps, and you only do the first one on purpose.
-
01
Record
One tap on the iPhone starts a trip. Lock the phone, put it in your pocket, and shoot. Points are logged by distance rather than on a timer, so standing still costs you nothing.
Start and stop from Siri or a Shortcuts automation if you would rather not touch it at all.
-
02
Match
Open the folder on your Mac or iPad. Every photograph is placed against the track, and every one shows you how far it sat from the nearest real GPS fix — not just a pin, but how much to trust it.
Positions interpolate between fixes, so a burst of frames does not collapse onto one coordinate.
-
03
Write
Press Geotag. Coordinates, altitude and the place name go into the files themselves — ready for Lightroom, Apple Photos, or wherever your work lives.
Originals are copied to a backup folder first, every time, before anything is modified.
One purchase
The phone records. The Mac and the iPad do the work.
iPad is not a stretched-up phone app here — it runs the same workspace the Mac does. Pull a card straight into it and tag on the train home.
Precision
Most wrong geotags are clock problems.
So the controls are about time, not about maps. Get the clock right and the coordinates follow.
Camera clock offset
Correct a drifting body in hours, minutes and seconds — or photograph a clock once and let EasyGeotag work the offset out for you.
Timezones that don't guess
EXIF rarely records a zone. Read it from the track, or set it yourself. The one thing the app will not do is assume.
Match confidence
Each frame shows how far it fell from the nearest recorded fix, so a shot taken in a tunnel never masquerades as certainty.
Interpolation
Positions are calculated between fixes rather than snapped to them — thirty frames in ten seconds get thirty coordinates.
Place it by hand
Nothing recorded for that frame? Drag the photograph onto the map and drop it where you were.
Indoors, and back out
When the signal goes, recording waits for movement instead of scattering noise across the track, and resumes the moment it returns.
What actually gets written
Coordinates are not enough to find a photograph again.
Nobody searches their library for 46.5984. They search for Lauterbrunnen. So the city, region and country go into the IPTC fields that Lightroom and Photos index — alongside the raw numbers.
JPEG & HEIC
Written in place through Apple's own ImageIO, on Mac and iPad alike. Capture dates and everything else in the file are left exactly as they were.
RAW on Mac
NEF, CR3, ARW, DNG and the rest, written directly into the file by ExifTool — bundled inside the app, nothing to install.
RAW on iPad
iPadOS cannot run ExifTool, so a RAW gets an XMP sidecar beside it instead. Lightroom, Camera Raw, Bridge and Capture One all read one, and your original file is never opened for writing.
That last difference is a real limitation of iPadOS, not a preference. The app tells you which of the two is about to happen before it writes a single byte.
Reversible, and private
It asks before it touches anything.
Every original is copied into a backup folder before a single file is modified, and Restore Originals puts them back whenever you want. You confirm the write first, and the sheet tells you exactly how many files and what will happen to them.
Your locations stay on your own devices and in your own iCloud account. There is no account to create, no server of ours anywhere in the path, no analytics, and no third-party SDK. We could not see where you have been if we wanted to.
Tag five photos free.
Then one purchase unlocks unlimited geotagging on Mac, iPad and iPhone — all three, once, and shareable with your family.
Requires macOS 15, iPadOS 18 or iOS 18.
