01 · CHOOSE
Start with the photos you actually want.
Pick a batch directly from Apple Photos or scan a date range. LensPin groups eligible images by camera make and model, then lets you use a GPX track, geotagged iPhone photos, or both.
For camera photos already in Apple Photos
Add locations to camera photos on iPhone.
LensPin matches DSLR and mirrorless photos already in Apple Photos to a GPX track or nearby geotagged iPhone photos. Review every suggested location before anything changes.
Made for iPhone and iPad · Requires iOS 17 or later
Location evidence
Why this suggested location?
GPX track
The camera photo falls between two nearby points on a continuous track.
- On-device matching
- Review before saving
- Existing locations protected
Import first. Add location second.
The photo is already on your iPhone. The trip is the missing piece.
Most cameras preserve capture time but record no GPS. LensPin uses that time to place each imported photo against evidence from the same outing.
- 1Choose the camera photos
LensPin filters to imported photos without an existing location.
- 2Add the evidence you have
Use a timestamped GPX track, nearby geotagged iPhone photos, or both.
- 3Review every suggestion
Check the map, time gaps, source agreement, and reason before saving.
The LensPin app, step by step
From a camera-photo batch to locations you have checked.
LensPin is not a camera importer or a one-pin editor. It is an iPhone and iPad workflow for camera photos already in Apple Photos: choose the exact batch, build a location timeline, inspect the evidence, and save only approved results.
02 · REVIEW
Triage the whole trip before editing it.
Results are separated into High confidence, Review, and No suggestion. Only strong matches are selected by default; every photo can open into its map, timing, source agreement, and conflict details.
03 · VERIFY
Finish with a result you can audit.
LensPin rechecks each photo before saving, reports Added, Skipped, and Failed separately, and places successful updates in a LensPin album so the map and coordinates are easy to verify afterward.

Evidence, not a black box

LensPin shows the source, time gap and confidence behind each suggestion. Weak or conflicting evidence is surfaced instead of turned into a guess.
Evidence stays visible
Review the map and timing for every photo.
You make the change
Nothing is saved until you confirm it.
Existing locations stay protected
Photos that already have a place are skipped.

Questions before you start
LensPin FAQ
Do I need a GPX file?
No. LensPin can use geotagged iPhone photos taken around the same time. A GPX track usually gives denser evidence, and you can combine both sources.
Does LensPin import photos from my camera?
No. Import with Apple Photos, a compatible card reader, or the camera maker’s workflow first. LensPin begins after the camera photos are in Apple Photos.
What happens when LensPin is not confident?
The photo moves to Review or No Suggestion with an explanation. Conflicting or low-confidence results are not selected as safe defaults.
Does LensPin change the original capture time?
No. A camera clock offset changes only how LensPin compares the photo with the evidence timeline. The capture time stored with the photo is left alone.
How do I check the locations after saving?
Successful updates are added to the LensPin album. Open a photo there to verify the Apple Photos location, map point, and coordinates.
