Geotag photos from a GPS track
EasyGeotag is a geotag photo app for Apple photographers who shoot with a camera that does not write GPS. You record a trip on iPhone (or open a GPX file), then geotag photos on Mac or iPad by matching each frame’s capture time to the track and writing coordinates, altitude, city, and country into the files.
What “geotag photos” means here
Real EXIF and IPTC location metadata inside JPEG, HEIC, and RAW — the same fields Lightroom, Apple Photos, and maps already understand. No text overlay stamped on the image. No upload of your trip to a server of ours.
GPS tracks and GPX
- iPhone recording — start a trip while you shoot; the track stays in your library.
- GPX import — open a standard GPX from a Garmin, handheld, action camera, or other logger on Mac or iPad.
- Match confidence — see how close each photo sat to a real fix before you write.
- Clock offset — correct a camera that runs fast or slow, including timezone-aware matching.
Who this is for
Travel and outdoor photographers with a mirrorless, DSLR, or film-era digital body; anyone who already carries a GPS logger and wants a clean Apple-native workflow; people who searched for a “geotag photo app” and found stamp cameras that only overlay text — that is a different product category.
Geotag photos with an iPhone in the loop
Searching for how to geotag photos on iPhone often turns up Camera Location Services tips or GPS stamp cameras. EasyGeotag’s iPhone role is different: it records the trip while you shoot with a separate body. After the shoot you open the card on Mac or iPad, match by capture time, and write coordinates into the files. Recording stays free; the paid unlock covers unlimited geotagging on Mac and iPad.
- iPhone — record (and import a shared GPX into Trips when needed).
- Mac / iPad — match the folder, review confidence, write EXIF/IPTC.
- Not — a live watermark stamp on each new Camera roll shot.
