How to Geotag Photo for CBSE Practical Exam & OASIS Portal

CBSE has made geotagged and timestamped group photographs mandatory for Class 10 and Class 12 practical exams. Schools must upload a geotagged photo of each exam batch — including all students, the internal examiner, external examiner, and observer — to the CBSE OASIS portal on the day of the exam.

You can use this free online tool to prepare a geotagged image before uploading it to the CBSE portal. Here is the exact step-by-step process:

  1. Take the group photograph inside the examination laboratory (faces must be clearly visible).
  2. Open this tool on your phone or desktop browser — no app installation needed.
  3. Upload the group photo using the Upload Image button above.
  4. Search for your school's location on the map, or enter the school's exact latitude and longitude.
  5. Set the date and time to match the exam date and time.
  6. Click Add GPS Location to Photo Now and download the geotagged image.
  7. Log in to saras.cbse.gov.in/oasis and upload the downloaded geotagged photo against the correct batch.

File size tip: CBSE typically requires images under 2 MB. If your photo is larger, compress it before uploading. The geotagging process itself does not increase file size.

Geotag Photos for Google My Business (Local SEO)

Adding GPS location data to photos before uploading them to your Google Business Profile can strengthen your local SEO signals. When you geotag product photos, storefront images, or team photos with your business's exact coordinates, Google receives stronger location context for your listing — which can help your business appear more prominently in local search and Google Maps results.

Simply geotag your images using this tool with your business's latitude and longitude, then upload them directly to your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business). This is a free, quick way to reinforce your location relevance without any technical skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is geotagging a photo?

Geotagging a photo means embedding GPS location data — latitude, longitude, and sometimes altitude — into the image's EXIF metadata. This lets apps like Google Photos, Apple Photos, and Google Maps display where the photo was taken on a map.

How do I geotag a photo online for free?

Upload your photo using the tool above, click your location on the map or enter coordinates manually, then click "Add GPS Location to Photo Now" to download the geotagged image. No signup required.

How to geotag a photo for the CBSE OASIS portal?

Take your batch photo in the exam lab, upload it here, enter your school's GPS coordinates, set the correct exam date and time, download the geotagged image, and upload it to saras.cbse.gov.in/oasis. See the detailed step-by-step guide above.

Can I add GPS location to an existing photo?

Yes. This tool is specifically designed to add GPS EXIF data to photos that were taken without location services enabled — or where you want to assign a specific location. Upload any existing photo and add the coordinates you need.

Does geotagging reduce image quality?

No. Only EXIF metadata is modified. The pixel data of your image is not changed in any way, so there is zero quality loss. The file size may change very slightly (a few kilobytes) due to the metadata addition.

Does this geotag tool work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. This is a browser-based tool that works on all devices — iPhone, Android phones, tablets, Windows, and Mac — without any app installation. Open it in Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser.

What image formats does this tool support?

This tool supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone), and WEBP images. All formats are converted to JPEG during the geotagging process, which is the standard format for EXIF GPS data.

How do I find my latitude and longitude?

The easiest way is to click your location directly on the map in this tool — it will automatically fill in the coordinates. Alternatively, open Google Maps, long-press your location, and the latitude and longitude will appear at the top of the screen.

Can geotagged photos help with Google My Business local SEO?

Yes. Uploading geotagged photos to your Google Business Profile gives Google additional location signals associated with your listing. This can strengthen your local search relevance for your business's geographic area.

Is my photo uploaded to your server?

No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your photos are never sent to or stored on any external server. This tool is 100% private and secure.

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing metadata inside image files. It can contain camera settings, date/time taken, and GPS coordinates. Geotagging writes the GPS latitude and longitude into the EXIF data of your photo.

How do I verify that my photo has been geotagged correctly?

After downloading, you can verify by right-clicking the image on Windows → Properties → Details tab → look for GPS Latitude/Longitude. On Mac, open it in Preview → Tools → Show Inspector → GPS tab. You can also upload it to exifdata.com to view all embedded metadata.
