Geotag Photos with Your Strava GPX File
Upload your Strava activity GPX and a folder of photos — Geo-Tag-It matches each shot to the GPS point recorded at that exact moment, then writes the coordinates to EXIF. No manual coordinate entry, no Lightroom plugin.
How to sync Strava tracks with your photos
From GPX export to geotagged photos in five steps. Built for cyclists, runners, and hikers.
- 1
Open the activity on strava.com
Go to strava.com (the website, not the mobile app), open the ride, run, or hike you photographed during, and click the "..." menu on the right side of the activity page.
- 2
Choose "Export GPX"
Strava generates a .gpx file with one timestamped point every few seconds. Save it somewhere easy to find — your Downloads folder is fine.
- 3
Upload to GPX Sync
Open Geo-Tag-It's GPX Sync tool, drop in the .gpx file, then drop in your photos. The tool reads each photo's capture time, finds the nearest GPS point, and writes the coordinates to EXIF.
- 4
Adjust the camera clock offset if needed
Strava records in UTC. If your camera clock was set to local time without a timezone offset, slide the camera-clock-offset control until the matched locations look right on the map.
- 5
Download the geotagged ZIP
Geo-Tag-It bundles the updated photos into a single ZIP. Originals are never modified — you get clean, geotagged copies.

Garmin
Pair a Garmin Connect GPX export with your camera roll and Geo-Tag-It writes accurate GPS coordinates into every photo by timestamp. Works with Fenix, Edge, eTrex, GPSMAP, and any other Garmin that records to Connect.
Drone Flight Logs
When your drone's SD card photos lose GPS — or never had it — pair them with a KML or GPX flight log from DJI Fly, Litchi, or Airdata to restore accurate aerial coordinates by timestamp.
