How many countries have you visited?

Most people guess. CountryVisit counts. Import the photos from your trips and every country with a geotagged photo is lit on the map and added to your counter. The number in Your world so far is out of 195: the 193 United Nations member states plus the two observer states. Territories such as Puerto Rico, Hong Kong or Greenland light up too, and they appear in the checklist below, but they are not counted as countries.

Alongside the country counter you get a region counter (US states, Canadian provinces, Japanese prefectures and so on), the share of the world you have covered, the continents you have reached, your northernmost photo and the country you photograph most. All of it is computed from the photos, so the answer to “how many countries have I been to” is whatever your camera roll proves.

Track the US states you’ve been to

Switch the map to Regions and the United States breaks into its 50 states. A photo taken in Austin lights Texas; a road trip through the Southwest lights Arizona, Utah and Colorado. The region counter tells you how many states you have been to, and the states page has the full checklist.

How it works

Point it at your photos. Choose a folder on your computer, pick photos from your phone’s library, or send a whole year from your iPhone with the Shortcut. JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP and RAW files all work.

The GPS is read on your device. Cameras and phones store the coordinates of each shot in the photo’s EXIF data. CountryVisit reads that field in your browser and matches it against country and region boundaries. The photo itself is never sent anywhere.

Your map lights up. Countries fill in as photos are matched. Click a lit country to drill into its regions, click a point to see the photo, or go fullscreen to show the whole thing off.

Screenshots, downloaded images and photos shared through most messaging apps have their location stripped, so they will not light anything. Originals from your camera roll do.

Your photos never leave your device

Everything happens in the browser tab. The photo files are opened locally, only the EXIF header is read, and the coordinates are matched against boundary data that is downloaded to your device. Original photos, EXIF files and image thumbnails are never uploaded. An optional account can store a footprint JSON you upload by hand — aggregated visit records (filenames, dates, country/region matches, and pin coordinates) so you can restore the map. That backup is not photo storage. You can delete it from your account at any time; once deleted we do not keep it. You can also import and export the same JSON locally, with no account.

Your map is stored in the browser’s own database, so it is still there when you come back. Clearing the map or the local data removes it completely.

Common questions

Is CountryVisit free?

Yes. The map, the counters, the US states view and the iPhone Shortcut are free. An optional account lets you upload aggregated visit JSON and restore it on another device. That backup is not photo storage, and you can delete it.

Do I have to upload my photos?

No. Photos are read in your browser. Originals never leave the device. Cloud upload, if you choose it, is aggregated visit JSON only — not photos, EXIF, or thumbnails — and you can delete that copy.

Which photos count?

Any photo whose file still carries location data: originals from an iPhone or Android camera roll, and RAW or JPEG files from a camera with GPS. Screenshots and most images received in chat apps have no location and are skipped.

Why does it say 195 countries?

195 is the 193 UN member states plus Vatican City and Palestine. Territories light up on the map and appear in the checklist, but they are not counted as countries.

Can I see US states, not just countries?

Yes. Switch the map to Regions, or open the states I’ve been to map. The same works for Canadian provinces, Australian states, Japanese prefectures and other first-level regions.

How do I import a whole year from my iPhone?

Install the CountryVisit Shortcut, pick a year on this page, then run the Shortcut from the Safari share sheet. It sends the coordinates month by month and resumes where it stopped.

Can I share my map?

Yes. Choose Embed this map to get one line of HTML for your blog, Notion, WordPress or any page, plus a link you can send. The embed carries only country codes and counts, never photos or coordinates. For a picture, choose Share this map: it renders a PNG card of your map on your device, ready for X, Threads, Instagram, WeChat or the phone share sheet, with prefilled post links for the networks that support them.

Can I keep a local JSON copy?

Yes. Use Import a footprint JSON and Export a footprint JSON in the account menu. The file is the same aggregated visit format the Shortcut uses. No account is required.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

The map is stored in the browser, so clearing site data removes it. Export a local JSON file, upload an aggregated cloud copy you can later delete, or import the photos again; the cache makes a re-import fast.
