FAQ
Frequently asked
How does GPS Camera work?
Open the app in your phone browser and tap “Take photo” — the camera opens. Take a shot, then choose what to stamp: GPS coordinates, the date, a pin, or a text note. Tap “Save” — “Link” copies a free shareable link to your photo, “Share” sends the shot itself.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. No sign-up, no subscriptions, no limits. Your photo is hosted and you get a link — all for zero.
Does it work offline?
Yes, if you add the app to your home screen. Then it launches and shoots without a connection — photos are kept on your phone. A link to a photo can only be created while you are online.
How do I save a photo to my phone's gallery?
Tap “Share” under the shot and choose “Save to Photos” (iPhone) or “Download” (Android). Or open the photo in the app gallery and press and hold it — a save option appears. Shots are saved at full resolution.
Do I need to install the app?
Installing is optional — GPS Camera runs right in your phone browser. But if you add it to your home screen, it launches like a regular app and works without a connection.
Which phones does it work on?
Any smartphone with a modern browser — iPhone (Safari), Android (Chrome). GPS coordinates are detected automatically through the browser.
Where is the photo uploaded?
The photo is uploaded to a photo host and you get a direct link. You can copy the link or share it straight to a messenger.
How long is the photo kept at the link?
A photo is usually kept for up to a year, and under heavy load it may be less. While it is stored, the link works — you can open it or forward it.
How accurate are the GPS coordinates?
Accuracy depends on your phone's GPS — usually 3 to 10 metres in the open. Indoors it can drop.
How do I add a note to a photo?
After shooting, tap the “Note” button. A field opens where you can type up to 200 characters. The text appears on the shot as a watermark.
Can I remove the GPS coordinates from a photo?
Yes. GPS coordinates and date are separate toggles, off by default. Turn on only what you need: GPS, date, pin, or note.
