# Picarta.ai

AI photo geolocation — GPS predictions and EXIF context.

URL: https://osintverse.com/docs/providers/picarta

Picarta.ai estimates where a photo was taken from visual content (and EXIF when available). SearchIn returns ranked predictions with city, region, country, confidence, and map links.

## Capabilities

* Worldwide image-to-GPS estimation from an uploaded photo or image URL
* Top-k location predictions with confidence scores
* City, province, and country labels when available
* Camera / timestamp metadata surfaced from EXIF when present

## What you get back

* Ranked prediction cards
* OpenStreetMap deep links
* EXIF camera maker / model panel
* Query image preview

## UI workflow

Choose Image, then upload a photo or paste a URL.

Select Picarta.ai.

Review ranked locations, confidence, and open maps for verification.

* Visual geoint alongside face search

## How it works & why through OSINTverse

### How the request runs

1. Choose Image, then upload a photo or paste a direct image URL.
2. Picarta.ai estimates the capture location from visual content, using EXIF as extra signal when the file carries it.
3. Top-ranked predictions return with coordinates, place labels, and confidence scores.
4. SearchIn renders ranked cards with OpenStreetMap deep links and an EXIF camera panel.

**Coverage.** Worldwide image-to-GPS estimation with top-k ranked predictions, city / province / country labels, and EXIF camera context where present.

### Why route Picarta.ai through OSINTverse

- Predictions arrive as ranked cards with place labels and OpenStreetMap deep links — no manual coordinate plotting.
- EXIF camera and timestamp context is surfaced next to the visual prediction when the file carries it.
- Runs on the same wallet and result schema as face search, so image work stays in one case.

|  | Picarta.ai directly | Through OSINTverse |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Getting started | Picarta.ai issues its own API token with usage tied to their plan, and returns raw coordinates you plot yourself. | Sign in, top up from $10, and run Picarta.ai the same minute — no vendor contract, seat, or sales call. |
| What a query costs | Plan, credit pack, or contract pricing set by the vendor and paid up front. | Pay per query from your prepaid balance — Picarta.ai starts at $0.50 for image lookups, with the exact price shown before you run it. |
| Failed lookups | Handled under the vendor's own credit and refund policy. | Automatically refunded to your wallet — a search that fails upstream after billing is not charged. |
| Output format | A vendor-specific response shape you normalise and render yourself. | Normalised result panels plus the raw JSON, returned by the same POST /v1/search contract as every other integration. |
| Cross-source work | Copy-paste between vendor dashboards to follow a lead into another dataset. | Results join one case graph, so you can pivot an entity into any of the other 16 integrations in a click. |
| Running it for a team | Per-seat or per-account access, billed and administered per analyst. | One shared team wallet with roles, provider allowlists, enforced MFA, and audit history — no per-seat fee. |
| Volume work | Script the vendor API yourself, including retries, polling, and rate handling. | Bulk search takes up to 50 queries across selected providers in one submission (max 100 jobs), with per-job status and partial-failure handling. |

- **One wallet, no subscriptions.** Top up prepaid USD from $10 and spend it a query at a time across all 17 integrations. No monthly fee, no seat count — and the balance never expires.
- **Failed searches are refunded.** If an upstream provider errors or times out after the charge, the search is marked refunded and the money goes back to your wallet automatically.
- **One API for every source.** The same POST /v1/search contract and x-api-key header work for every integration, so adding a source to your automation is a one-word change.
- **Cases and pivot graph.** Results land in a named case you can reopen. Entities become graph nodes you can pivot from into any other integration without retyping.
- **Team wallets and controls.** Share one balance with roles, provider allowlists, enforced MFA, and audit history — instead of buying a vendor seat for every analyst.
- **Exports built in.** Download any result as JSON, CSV, or PDF, and export the case graph as PNG, SVG, entities CSV, or graph JSON.

### Good to know

- Geolocation is an AI estimate with a confidence score, not a GPS fact.
- Indoor, generic, or heavily edited photos produce weaker predictions.
