There are no artificial limits imposed by our geotag editor. However, practical limits depend on:

Solutions for common issues
If you're having trouble uploading images, try these solutions:
| Issue | Solution | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong File Format | Ensure image is JPEG/JPG format | Convert using Paint or Preview |
| File Too Large | Resize image to under 10MB | Use image compression tool |
| Browser Issues | Clear cache, disable ad blockers | Try different browser |
| Corrupted File | Verify file opens in other programs | Take screenshot and use that |
Quick Fix: Try dragging and dropping the image instead of using the file browser, or vice versa. Sometimes the upload method makes a difference.
If GPS metadata isn't being saved, check these common issues:
Wrong file format
Use JPEG/JPG only - other formats don't support EXIF
Image viewer limitation
Some viewers don't show EXIF data. Use dedicated EXIF viewer
Incorrect coordinates
Verify latitude (-90 to 90) and longitude (-180 to 180) ranges
Tip: Use our Geotag Editor Tool to verify GPS data is embedded before downloading. The tool shows you the coordinates that will be saved.
