PicturePin
iPhone · Photo & Video

The right location on every camera photo.

PicturePin records a GPS track on your iPhone while you shoot, then writes accurate coordinates into your camera's JPEGs by matching their capture time. No account. No servers. No internet. Everything stays on your device.

100% on-device. No accounts · no analytics · no ads · no cloud sync · blocked from the network at the iOS level.

How it works

Shoot on your real camera, track on your phone, and let PicturePin connect the two by time.

1

Start a track

Tap START on the pin It tab when you begin shooting. Tracking keeps running in the background.

2

Shoot as usual

Use any camera with an accurate clock. Lock your phone — PicturePin keeps logging your route.

3

Import your JPEGs

On the tag photos tab, pull photos from an SD/CF card or your library.

4

Tagged & done

PicturePin matches each photo's time to your track and writes the GPS into its EXIF.

Built for photographers

A focused tool that does one job well — and respects your privacy completely.

01

EXIF time matching

Each photo's capture time is matched to the nearest point on your track for accurate, automatic geotagging.

02

SD & CF card support

Tag JPEGs straight off a connected card — saved as new tagged copies, leaving your originals untouched.

03

Background tracking

Keeps recording with the screen locked, plus a live battery estimate so you know how long you've got.

04

GPX & KML export

Export your track for Lightroom, Google Earth, and other mapping tools via the iOS share sheet.

05

Home-screen widget

Start and stop recording right from your home screen — no need to open the app first.

06

Truly private

No account, no tracking, no network access at all. Your locations and photos never leave your iPhone.
