Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this tool free and secure?
Yes, completely free. All processing happens in-browser; no data is sent to servers.
What if camera or location access is denied?
The tool prompts for permissions. If denied, use manual input or check browser settings.
Why does it fail on Safari/MacBook?
Safari requires HTTPS for camera access, even on localhost. Use a secure server or tunnel like ngrok.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, fully responsive. On mobile, it uses the front/back camera based on facing mode.
Can I embed coordinates without overlay?
Yes, toggle EXIF embedding and disable overlay for invisible metadata.
What file formats are supported?
Captures and downloads as JPEG. Upload supports common image formats. EXIF embedding works best with JPEG.
Handled test cases?
Yes: No camera support, no geolocation, permission denials, invalid manual inputs (non-numbers), offline mode (manual only), no secure context, image upload validation, overlay on uploaded images, EXIF on uploaded if possible.
