Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

GeoTagNinja is an open-source Windows desktop application for photographers who need to assign, review, edit or remove location metadata. Its graphical interface supports multiple photos at once, map-based coordinate assignment, GPS track association and photo previews. The application is distributed as a Windows 7+ x64 installer and fits solo photographers and small teams working on Windows systems.

The published product details describe a free application with no commercial tier structure. Its workflow covers importing GPS tracks, including GPX, associating tracks with photos, exporting photo coordinate tracks to GPX and overlaying tracks on a map before import. Reverse geocoding through GeoNames supplies country, state, city and altitude details. ExifTool handles EXIF reading and writing, while custom naming rules, selectable map layers and dark mode add control around the core geotagging process. Bulk removal provides a direct way to strip geodata from files.

GeoTagNinja’s ecosystem is focused but practical: ExifTool powers metadata editing, Microsoft WebView2 supports the Windows interface, and Lightroom Classic collection mode works through the Run Any Command plugin. Thumbnail, RAW, HEIC, PNG and WEBP previews help users review varied image libraries inside the application. Choose GeoTagNinja if you want a no-cost, open-source Windows workflow with map tools, GPX support and location cleanup in one desktop application. Consider another option if you need macOS or Linux support, a browser-based deployment or Lightroom integration without an additional plugin.
