Description

Photo Map Embed lets you convert photo GPS (EXIF) data into an interactive map that you can embed anywhere in WordPress — using a Gutenberg block or a shortcode.

Upload one or more photos containing GPS coordinates, and the plugin (or the free builder at photomapembed.com) instantly generates a shareable map with markers for each location. The embedded maps are lightweight, privacy-friendly, and work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile.

Free embeds include a small “Powered by Photo Map Embed” credit link.

✨ Features

  • Converts photo EXIF GPS to shareable Leaflet maps
  • Interactive map preview in Gutenberg
  • Copy-paste embed or use shortcode
  • Customizable style (street, satellite, etc.)
  • Lightweight and privacy-friendly
  • Works with images from iPhone, Android, or DSLR (with GPS)

For bulk upload and free online builder, visit photomapembed.com.

Privacy

Photo Map Embed does not collect or store user data. The optional builder (photomapembed.com) uses privacy-friendly analytics via Umami.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I get a Map ID?

You can create one for free at photomapembed.com by uploading your geotagged photos.

Can I embed maps without GPS in photos?
