GeoFlux is an iPhone app for editing the GPS location embedded in any photo, directly on the map. Fix the slightly-off location from an indoor shot, add a geotag to photos from your digital camera, or change a precise home address to something more private before posting on social media. It takes three steps, your original photo is never touched, and the edited copy is saved safely to a dedicated "GPS Edited Photos" album.
Drag the map until the center crosshair sits on your target location, then tap "Set GPS." No coordinates to type — just point and confirm. Zoom in for pixel-perfect precision.
GeoFlux uses the standard OS photo picker, so the app only ever accesses the photos you explicitly select. No access to your entire library is requested or needed.
Your original photos are never modified or overwritten. The edited version is saved as a new copy to a dedicated "GPS Edited Photos" album, so your memories are always safe and the original is always there.
When changing the GPS coordinates, all other EXIF data — camera model, lens info, exposure settings, capture date — is carefully preserved. Only the location changes; everything else stays intact.
A crosshair is fixed at the center of the map at all times. Pan and zoom the map until the crosshair lands exactly where you want the photo to say it was taken, then press the button. It's more intuitive than typing coordinates and more precise than dropping a pin by hand.
By relying on the modern OS photo picker, GeoFlux never asks for broad access to your photo library. The app sees only the single photo you select. There are no unexpected permission prompts and no background library scanning — just the photo you chose, handled securely.
Tapping "Set GPS" triggers a save to a new file. The updated photo appears in the "GPS Edited Photos" album while your original remains exactly where it was. There's no risk of accidentally overwriting the original, and you can re-edit as many times as you need without any consequences.
GeoFlux rewrites only the GPS-related EXIF fields. Camera make and model, lens details, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, and date/time — all of it is preserved faithfully in the output file. The edited photo retains its full technical and historical record.
Tap the photo library icon in the top-left to open the photo picker. Choose the photo whose location you want to edit. If the photo already has GPS data, the map will jump to that location automatically.
Drag, pinch, and zoom the map until the center crosshair sits on the exact location you want to assign. Zooming in gives you finer control over the final position.
Press the red button. A copy of the photo with the new GPS coordinates is saved to the "GPS Edited Photos" album in your library. Your original photo remains untouched.
"My digital camera doesn't have GPS, so I've always wanted a way to add location to those photos. GeoFlux makes it easy — pick the spot on the map and done. And the rest of the EXIF data stays perfect."
"Indoor shots always end up with inaccurate locations and I'd been searching for a simple fix. Being able to visually drag the map to the right spot is so much more intuitive than entering coordinates, and knowing the original file is safe makes it stress-free."
"I use this before posting on social media — I change the precise location of my home to something nearby for privacy. The fact that only the photo I select is accessed by the app makes me trust it even more."
