What Is Image GPS Viewer?
A GPS extraction tool that reads geographic coordinates embedded in photo EXIF data and displays the latitude, longitude, and a link to view the location on a map. Many smartphone cameras automatically embed location data when photos are taken. This tool parses the GPS-specific EXIF tags and converts them from degrees/minutes/seconds to decimal format. All parsing happens in your browser for privacy.

Technical Guide
GPS data is stored in the EXIF IFD-GPS directory with specific tags: GPSLatitudeRef (N/S), GPSLatitude (3 rationals for degrees, minutes, seconds), GPSLongitudeRef (E/W), GPSLongitude, and GPSAltitude. The parser reads these from binary JPEG data using DataView, converts rational pairs to decimals, and applies N/S and E/W references as sign. Decimal coordinates are formatted to 6 decimal places.
