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.

Converts photo EXIF GPS to shareable Leaflet maps
Interactive map preview in Gutenberg

Customizable style (street, satellite, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions
