GeoTagging images has many benefits, be it in business SEO or categorizing a vast array of images per their location. Currently, most images captured from mobile devices and digital cameras are geotagged, however, sharing these images through messaging apps, and other mediums frequently leads to the loss of such data. In this article, we will learn about GeoSetter, which allows you to add Geotags and other metadata to images.
