Approximate IP address location

Look up geographic and network information associated with a public IP using ipapi.co. Enter an IP or check your connection’s IP. The data is a network-based estimate, not a person’s exact position.

How to use it

  1. Enter a valid public IP or choose to check your own IP.
  2. Run the lookup.
  3. Review available fields and their limitations; some fields may be missing.

Example

If you use a VPN, checking your IP may show the VPN’s exit location instead of your physical location. This is an interpretation example, not a live result.

Limitations

Cities and coordinates are approximate; mobile networks, VPNs, proxies and IP reassignment affect results. Queries are sent to ipapi.co, and this browser stores a local history of up to five queried IPs on this device. Do not enter sensitive data.

Frequently asked questions

Does the location identify an exact address?

No. It is an IP-based estimate and does not identify a home or a person.

Why does another city appear?

The database, network provider or a VPN may associate the IP with a location different from yours.

Is the lookup performed without third parties?

No. This tool queries ipapi.co and keeps a local history of up to five IPs you enter.
