# To geotag an image

Geotagging is assigned to JPG images linked as a file or image attribute or media file to a point.

When images are geotagged, the properties of the file include the GPS coordinates of where the image was captured, a timestamp showing when the image was captured, and other relevant information including point ID as the image description and user name (if applicable).

To view geotagging information, select the image in the file explorer on your device and view the Properties or Details for the file.

It is not possible to remove geotagging information from an image.
