How to change the geotag of a photo or video in Google Photos?

Last Updated :

Manually editing the geotag isn't yet available in Google photos. Google photos in some cases will add a location tag automatically though based on your location history. If you want to manually edit the geotag, you could try these options:

Workaround: change it in Google+ photos, the changes will be reflected in Google photos as well:
  1. Go to https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/yourphotos.
  2. Click on the picture/video you want to change the geotag of.
  3. At the right-hand side at the top click on "Details".
  4. In the pane on the right, you can change the geotag.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
