Hey Product Hunt π
I'm Tim, the maker behind PhotoRadar.
The spark: a friend sent me a vacation photo and asked "guess where this is?" β I wasted 20 minutes reverse-searching, scrolling Google Maps, and squinting at street signs. Existing reverse image search only finds where a photo already appears online. It can't reason about what's *in* the image.
So I built a pipeline that does. PhotoRadar runs your image through multiple AI models in parallel β Gemini 3 for visual reasoning, GPT-5 for cross-validation, StreetCLIP for geographic embedding β then merges their candidates with weighted clue analysis (architecture, vegetation, signage, license plates, sky, road markings). The result is a ranked list of probable locations with a confidence score and reasoning you can actually read.
What surprised me while building:
β’ Single models hallucinate locations confidently. Cross-validation between models cuts false positives massively.
β’ EXIF GPS exists in <5% of social media photos β visual reasoning is the only path forward.
β’ Users wanted more than location: "can you also tell me if this is AI-generated?" β that became our AI Image Detector. "Can you strip metadata before I post?" β Metadata Cleaner. The toolbox grew from real requests.
Today PhotoRadar is:
π AI Location Search (3 modes: Ultrafast, Fast, Thorough)
π°οΈ World map with live webcams, ISS, satellites, earthquakes, weather
π§° 10 free browser-based photo tools (EXIF, AI detection, anti-AI, reverse search, compression, palette extraction, tamper heatmapβ¦)
Free tier: 2 AI analyses/month + generous tool usage. No signup needed for tools.
Honest asks:
1. Try the AI Location Search with a vacation photo β does the reasoning feel useful?
2. Tell me which tool you'd actually use weekly β that's where I'll invest next.
3. Brutal feedback welcome. Especially edge cases where the AI was wrong.
Thanks for taking a look π
