The Problem

Why EXIF Data
Is Often Missing

Most photos shared online have their location metadata stripped. Social platforms, messaging apps, and privacy settings all remove GPS coordinates—making traditional geolocation impossible.

Social platforms strip metadata on upload
Screenshots and re-exports remove EXIF tags
Privacy settings disable GPS tagging
Messaging apps compress files and drop metadata
The Solution

Visual Geolocation AI

OceanIR analyzes the pixels themselves—architecture, terrain, signage, and environmental cues—to determine where a photo was taken without any metadata.
