WhereWasTaken is an AI-driven photo geolocation lookup tool designed to help users infer the shooting location solely from image content. Its core uses include: uploading a photo, screenshot, or GeoGuessr game round image to obtain the AI-estimated most likely location, along with the country, region, city, confidence score, and supporting evidence.
Main capabilities:
- No GPS or metadata required: even if the photo contains no location information, the AI will analyze visual cues and geographic context to make an estimate.
- Evidence-based reasoning: the output includes a confidence level and supporting evidence, such as landmarks, text, architectural style, roads, vegetation, terrain, and more.
- Multi-format support: you can upload JPG, PNG, WEBP, and HEIC formats, up to 10MB.
- Wide range of users: in addition to ordinary photos, it can also analyze GeoGuessr screenshots to help players infer possible locations.
How to use:
- Upload any image: a photo, screenshot, or GeoGuessr round all work; GPS is optional.
- AI analyzes geographic clues: it examines landmarks, text, buildings, roads, and the surrounding environment to identify geographic signals.
- Get a location report: view the most likely location, confidence score, and supporting evidence.
Use cases:
- Wanting to know where an old photo or an image shared by someone else was taken.
- Assisting with judging the location of a screenshot while playing GeoGuessr.
- Analyzing hidden geographic clues in photos, such as architectural style, street signs, vegetation, and terrain.
- Viewing image metadata such as EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera information, and timestamps (through related tools).
The official website examples show inference results such as Île-de-France, France (Haussmann architecture), Illinois, United States (Marina City Towers, the Chicago River and bridges), and Mendoza, Argentina (RN40 road markings, distant mountains), and list key location clues.
