How GPSnap Works
Three simple steps to create verified, GPS-stamped photo documentation directly from your browser

Download & Compare
Download your GPS-stamped images instantly to your device. Use the built-in comparison tool to create professional before-and-after documentation with slider, side-by-side, or overlay viewing modes.
Who Uses GPSnap
Trusted by professionals across industries who need verifiable, location-stamped photo evidence
Construction & Contractors

Why GPS Photo Documentation Matters
Standard photos lack critical context. Without embedded location and time data, there is no way to independently verify where or when a photo was taken. This creates disputes in construction projects, weakens insurance claims, and makes field service records unreliable.
GPSnap solves this by embedding GPS coordinates, street addresses, altitude, and precise timestamps directly into your images at the moment of capture. The data is rendered as a visible overlay on the photo itself, making it immediately verifiable without special software.
Unlike traditional metadata that can be easily stripped or altered when sharing photos, GPSnap's visual overlay becomes a permanent part of the image, providing tamper-evident documentation that holds up in professional and legal contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about GPS photo documentation with GPSnap
What is GPSnap and how does it work?
GPSnap is a free, browser-based tool that captures photos with embedded GPS location data. When you take a photo, it uses your device's GPS sensor and camera to create images with a visible overlay showing coordinates, address, altitude, and timestamp. Everything runs locally in your browser with no data sent to any server.
Do I need to install an app to use GPSnap?
No. GPSnap works entirely in your web browser on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. Simply visit gpsnap.com, grant camera and location permissions, and start capturing GPS-stamped photos immediately. There is no app to download, no account to create, and no software to install.
Is GPSnap really free? What's the catch?
GPSnap is completely free with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers. There are no limits on the number of photos you can capture or comparisons you can make. The tool runs entirely in your browser, which means there are minimal server costs for us to operate it.
How accurate is the GPS location on my photos?
GPS accuracy depends on your device and conditions. Modern smartphones typically achieve 5-15 meter accuracy outdoors with clear sky visibility. The accuracy value is displayed on each photo so you always know the precision level. Indoor accuracy may be reduced.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. All image processing and GPS data handling happens entirely within your web browser. No photos, GPS coordinates, or personal data are ever uploaded to our servers. Your images stay on your device and under your complete control at all times.
What is the image comparison feature used for?
The comparison tool lets you upload two photos and view them side by side, with an interactive slider, or as overlays. It is ideal for documenting changes over time, such as construction progress, property conditions before and after events, renovation results, or environmental changes at a specific location.
