Stamp a photo with coordinates and time

Coordinates, bearing, accuracy, a note and the time, drawn onto a copy of your photo in the CoyoCam style.

Runs in your browser. The photo is not uploaded — it never leaves this device.

How it works

Your browser opens the photo and reads its GPS, bearing and time from the Exif data. You choose the position — the photo's own, the one your browser reports now, or one you type in any format (decimal, DMS, UTM or MGRS) — and the stamp is drawn the way CoyoCam draws it: bearing, coordinates and accuracy across the top, your note and the time across the bottom, white on a translucent black band, sized to the picture. The download is a new JPEG; the original file is not changed.

Questions

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The page reads the file, draws the stamp and makes the JPEG in your browser. You can open the page, go offline and it still works.

Does the stamped copy keep the GPS data?

Yes, unless you untick the box: the copy keeps the camera, lens and time from the original and gets the position you chose written into its GPS tags, with the orientation set upright. The original's embedded thumbnail and maker notes are left out.

Why is the compass point “N” for a bearing of 339°?

The stamp names the nearest of the eight compass points, as the app does: 339° is closer to north (360°) than to north-west (315°). The “(T)” means the bearing is from true north. The N/E/S/W letters are the neutral stamp, readable in any country.
