GeoSpy alternative

A GeoSpy alternative anyone can use

GeoSpy, made by Graylark Technologies, closed its public platform in early 2025 to focus on law enforcement and government customers. GeoSnoop is open to everyone: drop a photo in the box above and see where it was likely taken, with your first photo free and no account needed.

What GeoSnoop shows

• Country: the most likely country, with its chance (free).
• City Matches: the cities that fit best, each with the chance the photo was taken within 25 km of it.
• A map of the likely area (68% chance, sea cut out), and an exact spot when GeoSnoop is sure enough.
• Photo Analysis: which parts of your picture point where.
• Sets and videos: up to 20 photos of one place, or a video, searched together (with an account and credits).
• An API for teams that locate photos in bulk. See the API

How the accuracy compares

On the public Im2GPS3k benchmark, which locates single photos one at a time under the papers' standard test rules, GeoSnoop placed 31.5% of photos within 1 km and 60.0% within 25 km. An independent study measured GeoSpy at 25.0% and 53.2% on test sets of the same type. GeoSpy placed more photos in the right country and continent (89.0% and 97.3%, against GeoSnoop's 86.7% and 94.2%). These are single-photo results: several photos or a video of the same place, searched together as a set, usually narrow it down further. All figures, sources and test rules

How it works

GeoSnoop compares what is in your photo with hundreds of millions of photos from around the world whose location is known, gives every candidate city a score and shows the places that fit best. It works from the pixels alone: location data in the file is never used for its guess, so screenshots and photos without GPS data work too. More on how it works

Use it responsibly

Before anything is uploaded, everyone confirms they are not using GeoSnoop to stalk, harass, track or surveil anyone. Results are private to you and never shown to search engines. Our responsible-use policy
