## What is GeoZine?

Pick a travel photo with a location. GeoZine reads where it was taken and draws the real contours, rivers and place names there, laid into one image you can post as is. A red dot marks where you stood, and one line under the title says where you are and what you are looking at.

THREE STEPS
1. Pick a travel photo. Choose one that has a location. No location? Search for a place name or tap the map instead.
2. The place is drawn automatically. GeoZine reads the capture point and draws the real contours, rivers and place names there.
3. Pick a ratio, save or share. Original, 3:4, 4:5, 9:16 and 1:1, and the title and map block can be dragged wherever you like.

THE DEFAULT SPOTLIGHT LAYOUT
The map is the hero: the mountain or lake you are looking at is picked out in red, and the title is followed by coordinates, elevation and heading, plus one line that says where you stand and what you see. Classic, Ink and Minimal styles are still there. You can also export a magazine page: the photo is kept exactly as shot, with a paper-colored page added beside it for the title, coordinates, elevation, heading, date, a short caption and the full map.

WHY THE IMAGE CAN BE TRUSTED
- Contours drawn from real elevation data: they come from public elevation data, peaks carry their heights and lakes follow real shorelines. It is not an illustration.
- A red dot and a line you can verify: the dot is the photo's capture point, so anyone can check it.
- Your original pixels are never changed: GeoZine only lays a layer over the photo, and everything outside the map matches the original pixel for pixel.
- Photos are processed on your phone and never uploaded. No account, no ad tracking.

GOOD TO KNOW
- An internet connection is needed each time. GeoZine downloads public map and elevation data near the capture point, usually in under half a minute. The requests contain only map tile numbers near that point, never your photo.
- GeoZine draws terrain, water, roads and place names. It deliberately draws no national borders or administrative boundary lines.
- Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, OpenFreeMap. Elevation data: AWS Terrain Tiles.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-26

GeoZine 1.2.0: turn the photos from one trip into a full set in one go.

• Series: tap Select on the home screen, pick 2 to 9 photos from one trip, and GeoZine makes an image for each in time order, plus a route cover and a route summary page. Save the whole set to Photos or share it at once, and a caption for your post is ready to copy
• Overprint: a new layout where the map lines are printed straight into the sky, in a color taken from the sky itself, with just one small red dot. It is recommended by default for photos with a big sky and rich terrain

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-16

GeoZine 1.1.1: a blocked save no longer leaves you stuck.

• If saving is blocked by Photos permission, you get an Open Settings card, and the image saves automatically when you come back

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-15

GeoZine 1.1.0: the moment your map appears, made calmer.

• While your map is made, you see your own photo and a small card, with real 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 progress instead of a vague "about half a minute"
• The finished image settles onto your photo, with a gentle tap in your hand
• After you buy GeoZine Pro, the signature disappears right away, with no extra step
• Images you already saved no longer show up as the first photo on the home wall
• Once you have works, the sample on Home folds into a slim banner you can open any time
• The accent color on the purchase and settings screens is now the same ink tone as your images and the website

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-13

GeoZine 1.0.0 is a big update: easier to start, and easier to fine-tune.

• New home screen: your geotagged travel photos, grouped by month. Tap one to make a map.
• Layouts recommended by composition: the best few layouts for each photo, and you can switch any time
• Landmark titles: near a famous spot, the title uses the landmark's name
• Redesigned editor: a bigger preview, with tools in a bottom bar. View full screen and pinch to zoom in.
• Drag the map card and title anywhere, or drag a corner to resize them
• Saved images go into a "GeoZine" album and show up first in Recent
• My Works opens instantly, so you can pick up where you left off
• Place names follow where the photo was taken: Chinese names for photos in China, English names elsewhere
• New Settings: restore purchases, redeem a code, send feedback, privacy and about
• New GeoZine Pro: a one-time purchase that removes the signature from your images for good, and includes the paid features we add later. Everything you can make today stays free, with no limits.
