LocatePic
Find where photos were taken with zero-upload EXIF
LocatePic is a browser-native photo geolocation and metadata forensic tool. It helps travelers, photographers, and OSINT researchers pinpoint where a photo was taken without compromising privacy. • Zero Server Uploads: Reads GPS coordinates, camera model, and capture timestamp locally in-browser. • Visual AI Landmark Forensics: Correlates solar shadow angles, architectural styles, and flora clues. • Privacy Scrubber: One-click strip of sensitive location data before sharing online.
"The caption says one thing. The frame says another."
We’ve all seen it: someone posts a photo claiming they're working late, but the lighting looks like golden hour in a different timezone. Or you find a breathtaking photo online and desperately want to know the hidden corner of the world it was actually taken in.
Most existing EXIF tools feel like boring software from 2004—ugly interfaces, sluggish maps, or forcing you to run complex terminal commands.
We built LocatePic to be something entirely different: a cinematic, privacy-conscious visual detective workspace right in your browser.
🔍 What makes it unique:
• The Invisible Truth: Instantly reveals exact GPS coordinates, camera focal lengths, and capture timestamps in 0ms—running 100% locally in your browser with zero server uploads (nobody sees what you analyze).
• Multi-Layer Forensics: Cross-examines solar shadow angles, environmental clues, and coordinates on interactive dark-mode maps.
• The Counter-Measure: It’s also your defense shield. One click scrubs all hidden GPS and device metadata so you can share photos publicly without revealing where you live or sleep.
Whether you're fact-checking an image, exploring forgotten travel spots, or protecting your own digital footprint—the frame no longer lies.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, wild discoveries, and what forensic tools you'd love to see next!
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm excited to share LocatePic with you today.
The idea started late one night when a close friend called me stressed out. His long-distance partner had sent a photo claiming she was "working late in her hotel room," but something about the reflection in the glass felt completely off.
He wanted to check the real location, but every tool online felt like a shady malware trap asking him to upload sensitive private photos to unknown servers.
That night, I hacked together a quick script that extracted the camera's hidden coordinates right inside his browser without uploading a single byte to the internet. The photo was taken at a beach resort 100 miles away.
That was day one of LocatePic:
• Zero-Upload Privacy: Everything runs locally inside your browser tab. Your photos never touch a cloud server.
• Visual AI Forensics: Even if Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter stripped the GPS tags, our model analyzes background architecture, sun shadow angles, and terrain to pinpoint locations.
• One-Click Scrubber: Safely strip metadata before sharing photos publicly.
Would love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, and test photos! I'll be here all day to chat. 🚀
