GeoInfer
GeoInfer is an AI-powered image geolocation platform that determines the location where a photo was taken using only the visual content of the image, without relying on GPS coordinates, EXIF metadata, or any other file header information. The platform offers sub-second inference across global coverage, including urban, rural, and remote areas, and provides accuracy metrics across multiple distance thresholds (e.g., 12.2% within 1 km, 60.3% within 25 km, 76.5% within 200 km, and 93.3% at country level on the IM2GPS3k benchmark). The service is available as a web application and a RESTful API, with batch processing capabilities for large volumes of images. It supports various use cases including government intelligence, law enforcement forensic analysis, insurance claim verification, investigative journalism, and OSINT. GeoInfer emphasizes data sovereignty with zero-retention policies, AES-256 encryption, and audit trails for chain-of-custody. GeoInfer offers a freemium model: a free global model with no account required for image geolocation at regional to city level, and a Pro tier for enterprise customers that provides meter-level precision, custom model training, dedicated infrastructure, SLA guarantees, and on-premise or air-gapped deployment. The platform also plans to add classification capabilities in the future.

Problem solved
GeoInfer solves the challenge of determining the location where a photograph was taken when GPS and EXIF metadata are missing, stripped, or spoofed. This is critical for OSINT investigations, digital forensics, insurance fraud detection, and journalistic fact-checking, where verifying the origin of an image is essential but traditional metadata cannot be trusted.
Use cases
- OSINT investigations and source verification
- Law enforcement forensic geolocation of evidence images
- Insurance claim location verification and fraud detection
- Government intelligence and border security monitoring
- Investigative journalism fact-checking
- Enterprise API integration for automated image location checks
Audience
- Developers
- Enterprise
- Researchers
- Business Users
