Add, edit or delete a location from a photo

Your photo may have a location if: - 

1. Your camera's GPS saves your location.
2. Google Photos could estimate a location using information such as your Google Location History (if enabled), which is stored in your Google account. Check your Google location history. You can edit or delete a location estimated by Google Photos.
3. You have added a location.

add a place

1. On your computer, go to photos.google.com.
2. Open the photo or video.
3. Click on Information and then where was it taken?
4. Add or select a location.

Edit or delete a location

Things you should know about editing a location

1. You can edit a location that you have added or that Google Photos has estimated.
2. When you edit the location that was saved with your camera's GPS, it will replace that location, but will not delete it. The original location saved by your camera's GPS will only appear when you download the photo or share it with other applications. The location you added will only be shared within Google Photos.

Share a photo with a location

These situations will only occur if it does not prevent people from seeing the location of their photos. Learn how to change your settings below:- 

• If you add a location to a photo and then share it with someone in Google Photos, you will also share the location.
• If you share a photo with a location estimated by Google Photos, the location will not be shared.
• If you changed an estimated location for your device and then shared that photo in Google Photos, the edited location will be displayed.
• If you changed a location that was saved by your camera's GPS and then shared that photo with other applications or downloaded it, you can display the original location saved by your camera's GPS.

Prevent people from seeing the location of your photos

When you share a photo using a link, the location of your photo can be shared if you added it or if it was attached to the photo by your camera's GPS.

Stop sharing location details

1. On your computer, go to photos.google.com/settings.
2. Click Share down arrow.
3. Activate Delete geographic location in shared items by link. Everything you share via a link will not have the location details.

Foot Notes:

• If you share a photo or video differently, for example, when you download and send it by email to another person, it will still have a location attached to your camera's GPS.
• If you have already shared the photo or video via a link before changing this setting, it will continue to show the location details.
• Even if a photo or video has no location details, anyone can estimate the location.
