Geotag your photos from GPS-less cameras with your phone's location history data.
- Do you take photos with a camera without a GPS tracking feature?
- Do you have https://moves-app.com/ installed on your phone?
- Do you want to have your photos geotagged?
…if your answer is 3x yes, then this tool is for you.
- You already walk around with your location-aware phone and Moves records your location.
- You snap photos with your GPS-less camera.
- GeoTagger uses the creation timestamps from photos to find your location at the time of taking them in your Moves log.
- GeoTagger is able to retrospectively add GEO tags to even old photos, as long as your location for the period is logged with Moves.
When you ask GeoTagger to tag your photos, this process takes places:
- Unique creation dates are extracted from the photo files.
- Your Moves history for those days is fetched from the Moves API.
- A GPX file is generated from the data.
exiftool -geotag
is used behind to scene to apply that location log to your photos.
Beta quality.

Geotag all images in a folder:
$ geotagger tag ./photos
You can also just generate a GPX log for the dates without applying it:
$ geotagger gpx ./photos > log.gpx
The tag
sub-command also optionally accepts a path to a GPX log file:
$ geotagger tag ./photos log.gpx
- Improve UX: simplify installation and setup
- Make the external metadata updates play well with photos already imported to Lightroom
- Add Geosync support http:https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/geotag.html#geosync
- Consider Electron-based GUI app
- Consider additional GPS log sources than Moves
- Fixed
missing configuration: MOVES__ID
