Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online photo gps extractor.
Choose the JPEG and the tool reads its GPS directory, converts the rational values and shows

Latitude and longitude as degrees, minutes and seconds, plus the hemisphere reference,
altitude, UTC time and datum.
Location tagging may have been off, or the app that exported the photo stripped the GPS

first.
