HEIC / HEIF

How it works

iPhone photos in HEIC format embed GPS coordinates by default unless you've specifically disabled Location Services for the Camera app. The coordinates are stored in the same EXIF GPS IFD structure as JPEG, but inside HEIC's ISOBMFF container. Our tool reads HEIC GPS data natively — no conversion needed — and shows the location on an interactive map.

Tips

If you received an iPhone photo via AirDrop, iMessage, or email, it almost certainly contains GPS. Photos shared through Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp have GPS stripped by the platform.
