About

GeoPhoto Lite

Read full description

GeoPhoto Lite turns your iPhone into a professional documentation camera. Every photo is automatically stamped with GPS coordinates, address and timestamp — visibly as a clean watermark AND invisibly in the real EXIF metadata. You always know where and when a shot was taken, even after sharing or exporting. Perfect for construction documentation, surveys, insurance claims, inspections, real estate, agriculture and forestry, and any field work that needs verifiable photo proof. WHY GEOPHOTO LITE? • Automatic GPS watermark: coordinates, address and date/time right on the photo. • Real EXIF geodata: location and time written into the JPEG — readable by Photos, map apps and pro tools. Your original camera metadata is preserved. • Mini-map in the watermark: see the capture location at a glance. • Projects & filters: keep shots organized by job or site. • PDF reports: export multiple photos with metadata and an overview map in seconds. • Fast & reliable: built for capturing many photos in a row, even on older devices. PRIVACY FIRST • Location only while in use — no background tracking. • No ads, no analytics SDKs, no accounts. • Your photos and data stay on your device. Turn every photo into solid proof — simple, fast and professional. Download GeoPhoto Lite and document with confidence.
