Know Where You Took That Photo!
Use HoudahGeo to geocode and geotag your photos. “Pin” photos to the exact places where they were taken.
HoudahGeo stores latitude, longitude and altitude as geotags right within the image file. Just like a GPS-enabled camera.
HoudahGeo supports many methods of geocoding, ranging from automatic to manual. Use a GPS track log, reference photos taken with iPhone, or pick locations on the built-in map.
HoudahGeo works with both JPEG and RAW images. It can browse Apple Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, and Adobe Lightroom Classic libraries.
HoudahGeo adds locations to photos in Apple Photos, iPhoto, and Aperture. It also writes geotags to the original image files. Use HoudahGeo to copy location information to future-proof geotags.
View. Organize. Find!
Geotags tie your photos to geographical locations. View your photos on a map. Use your favorite photo cataloging tools to organize and find photos by location.
Future-proof your photos with geotags. HoudahGeo writes EXIF, XMP, and IPTC metadata tags to JPEG and RAW image files. Industry standards ensure that the information can be used by a wide variety of software and services.
Geotagging is essential for professionals who need to know and show where photos were taken. E.g. to document wildlife migration, locate structure damage, enhance real estate listings, etc.
Location information adds to the “story” of a photo. See a bird's-eye view of where you took your photos and the route you took to get there. Relive and recount your adventures.
