Travel map from photos

Turn years of photos into one travel map.

Mapsake reads the location already saved with your Apple Photos and matches each memory to a country, region, and city. The result is a private atlas you can explore in minutes, even if your library spans decades.

Free. No account. Photo matching stays on your device.

How it works

A full atlas without a blank start.

01

Choose Photos

Grant access to the photos you want Mapsake to use. You stay in control of the library permission.

02

Match on device

Mapsake resolves photo coordinates to countries and cities locally. Your library is not uploaded for processing.

03

Explore your atlas

Open any place story, browse its photos and dates, or shade your world by photo count, recency, and time spent.

Countries shaded by the number of travel photos

More than pins

See the shape of a lifetime.

Photos can build the foundation, then Mapsake lets you correct, expand, and organize the record. Add places with no photos, separate where you visited from where you lived, and keep future trips in a distinct next list.

  • Photo pins with dates, camera details, altitude, and speed
  • Country and region heatmaps by photos, recency, or time spent
  • Place stories that gather the moments from each destination
  • Constellations that find visual connections entirely on device
Why Mapsake is private →

What the scan can and cannot know

Use photo locations as evidence, then review the story.

A located photo can show when and where a camera captured an image. It cannot always tell whether you stayed, connected through an airport, photographed from a plane, or saved an image taken by someone else. Mapsake shows the discovered places before they become part of your atlas.

Review edge cases

Exclude screenshots, edited media, unwanted devices, isolated images, high-altitude points, or connection airports that do not match your definition of a visit.

Fill honest gaps

Trips without located photos are not guessed. Add those places manually, correct dates, and attach notes without rebuilding the rest of the map.

Keep the source private

Supported matching and place resolution stay on the device. Sharing a card or read-only map is a separate choice you control.
