Geotag real estate photos in bulk

Agents and photographers shoot dozens of photos per property. Geotagr lets you place the whole shoot on the map, add the listing description and keywords, credit the photographer and save every image with the data embedded.

What you can do

One pin for the whole shoot

Set the property address once and apply it to every photo of the listing, or jitter positions slightly if you prefer not to mark the exact spot.

Captions and credits

Add the title, description, keywords, photographer name and copyright notice to each file.

Match a GPS track

On paid plans, import a GPX track or a CSV of coordinates to tag photos by time or by file name.

Phone photos welcome

HEIC photos from iPhones are converted to JPG automatically when you add them.

How it works

Add the photos of the property.
Search the address to place the pin, then select all photos.
Write the description, keywords and credit once for the batch.
Download a ZIP of tagged JPGs for your listing.

Good to know: Location data embedded in a photo can reveal where it was taken. Only publish exact coordinates for properties you intend to advertise, and remove location for private homes.

What to write for a listing

Title: what the photo shows and which property it belongs to, for example "Kitchen, 3-bedroom house, Elm Road". Room-by-room titles make a large shoot easy to sort and reuse later.

Description: a sentence or two about the room or view and the features worth noticing, such as natural light, a new kitchen or the garden. If your office uses a listing reference, include it so the photos can always be matched to the right property.

Keywords: the property type, number of bedrooms, the neighbourhood and town, and the main features (garden, parking, sea view). Keep them factual; they should describe what is in the picture.

Creator and copyright: the photographer's name and a copyright notice from whoever owns the images, whether that is the photographer or the agency. Agree this before the shoot so the credit is right from the first delivery.

A worked example

A photographer delivers forty photos of a house on Elm Road. In Geotagr they add all forty, search the address and check the pin sits on the house rather than the road, then select every photo and write the shared details in one pass: description of the property, keywords for the area and property type, photographer name and copyright.

Then they go through the rooms, giving each group its own title: "Living room", "Kitchen", "Rear garden". A file-name pattern on plans with renaming, for example the city, title and a number, produces files like "millbrook-kitchen-3.jpg" instead of a camera sequence. The whole set downloads as one ZIP, ready to send to the agent.

Privacy for occupied homes

A geotagged photo of a house tells anyone who opens the file exactly where it is. That is often fine for a property on the open market whose address is already published, but not always: a seller may not want the exact address shown, tenants may still live there, or the listing may be withdrawn.

In those cases, either leave the location empty and write only the text fields, or place the pin at street or neighbourhood level rather than on the house. For photos that already contain a precise location you do not want to share, our free metadata remover strips GPS and other details from a copy before it goes out.

Where your metadata ends up

The tags live inside the JPG files you download. Listing portals and agency systems often resize and re-encode uploaded photos, and that can drop embedded fields, so do not rely on a portal to display or keep them. Files you send directly to an agent, store in your archive or publish on your own website keep the metadata unless something re-processes them.

If you need to know what a particular portal keeps, upload a tagged test photo, download the copy it serves and check it in our metadata checker.

Frequently asked questions

Can I tag photos from different properties in one go?

Yes. Select a group of photos, set their location, then select the next group. Each photo keeps its own data until you write it.

Can I remove GPS data from photos instead?

You can leave location blank and write only the text fields. Geotagr focuses on adding metadata; it does not guarantee to strip every existing field in a file. To clean a copy completely, use the free remove photo metadata tool.

Can each room have its own title?

Yes. Write the shared details to the whole listing first, then select a single photo or a group and give it its own title and description.

Will listing portals show my captions and credit?

That depends on the portal. Many resize and re-encode uploads, which can remove embedded metadata. The files you download from Geotagr keep it, so your own copies and anything you send directly stay tagged.

My drone photos already have GPS. Will Geotagr keep it?

Geotagr reads the coordinates already in a photo and shows them on the map. They stay unless you set a new location for that photo.

Are my photos uploaded to your servers?

No. Geotagr reads and writes photo metadata in your browser. The image files never leave your device; only account, quota and optional AI or place-search requests go to our servers.

Which file types can I use?

JPG, HEIC, PNG and WebP files can be opened. HEIC, PNG and WebP are converted and saved as JPG so the metadata is widely readable.
