Understanding IP Location Results
What each field in your geolocation results means
City
The city where this IP address is registered to an ISP. This is the registered location, not necessarily where the device is physically located. Mobile users may see their carrier's city, not their current city.
Mountain View
Region
The state, province, or administrative region. Combined with city, this gives you a more specific location within the country.
California
Country
The country where the IP is registered, displayed with a flag emoji. Country detection is 95-99% accurate for most IP addresses.
United States 🇺🇸
Postal Code
The ZIP or postal code associated with the IP's location. Not available for all IPs—depends on database coverage in that region.
94035
Timezone
The IANA timezone for this location (e.g., America/Los_Angeles). Used to calculate the live local time display.
America/Los_Angeles
Local Time
The current time at the IP's location, updating every second in your browser. Useful for understanding what time it is at a server's location or when remote teams are online.
02:45:33 PM, Thu Jan 16

Why Use Our IP Location Finder
What makes our IP geolocation tool different
Interactive Map with Accuracy Radius
Unlike competitors' static images, our Leaflet.js map lets you zoom, pan, and explore. The accuracy radius circle shows exactly how confident the geolocation is—something most tools hide.
Live Local Time Display
See the current time at the IP's location, updating every second. Perfect for understanding server timezones or when remote teams are online.
Enhanced Country Metadata
Beyond basic location, we show continent, currency (with symbol), and international calling code for 45+ countries. Extra context most tools don't provide.
URL-Based Sharing
After any lookup, the URL updates to include ?ip=X.X.X.X. Copy and share results, or bookmark specific lookups for later reference.
Export to JSON, CSV, or Text
Download your results in multiple formats. Integrate with spreadsheets, databases, or your development workflow.
Privacy First, No Data Stored
We don't log the IPs you look up. Results are cached for 1 hour for performance, then discarded. Your searches stay private.
When to Use IP Geolocation
Common scenarios where IP location lookup helps
Security Analysis
Suspicious login from unknown IP? Look up the IP to see if it's from an expected country. Cross-reference with known threat regions or your user's usual locations.
Geo-Targeting Verification
Testing CDN or geo-restricted content? Verify that CDN nodes are serving from correct regions. Confirm geo-restricted content is blocking/allowing the right locations.
Visitor Analytics
Understanding website audience geography? Look up visitor IPs to understand your audience distribution without invasive tracking scripts.
Development Testing
Building geo-based features? Test how your app handles different locations—currency display, language selection, or regional content variations.
Server Location Verification
Confirming cloud server regions? Verify that your servers or third-party APIs are actually hosted where providers claim. Important for data residency compliance.
Time Zone Coordination
Scheduling across regions? Use the live local time feature to understand what time it is at a server's location or when remote team members are in office hours.
How IP Geolocation Works
IP geolocation maps IP addresses to geographic locations using databases maintained by regional internet registries and commercial providers. We combine 4 data sources for comprehensive results.
Data Sources
We query multiple sources in parallel: **MaxMind GeoLite2-City** for country, city, region, coordinates, timezone, and accuracy radius (updated weekly). **MaxMind GeoLite2-ASN** for ISP name and ASN number. **DNS reverse lookup** for hostname (2 second timeout). **ipwhois RDAP** for organization, network CIDR, and registry details (5 second timeout, cached 24 hours). Plus a static JavaScript mapping for enhanced country metadata (continent, currency, calling code) covering 45+ countries.
Accuracy Considerations
Country detection is 95-99% accurate. City-level accuracy varies from 50-80% depending on region and ISP. We display an accuracy radius circle on the map to show the margin of error—typically 5-100km for city-level results. Mobile IPs often show the carrier's network location, not the device's physical position. VPN and proxy users will see the server's location, not their real location.
What IP Location Cannot Do
IP geolocation cannot provide exact street addresses—only city-level accuracy. It shows where the IP is **registered** (to an ISP), not where a device is physically located. Private IP addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x) cannot be geolocated as they only exist within local networks. Some ISPs register all their IPs to headquarters, so users may appear in a different city than they actually are.
How We're Different
Most IP location tools show static map images and basic data tables. We provide an interactive Leaflet.js map with zoom/pan, an accuracy radius visualization, live-updating local time, and enhanced country metadata. Plus URL-based sharing, export options, and a free API—features typically locked behind paywalls elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level accuracy is typically 95-99%. City-level accuracy ranges from 50-80%, varying by region and ISP. We display an accuracy radius circle on the map to show the margin of error—usually 5-100km. Mobile and VPN users may show different locations than their actual position.
Can I locate any IP address?
You can locate any public IPv4 or IPv6 address. Private IP addresses (like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x) cannot be geolocated because they only exist within local networks and aren't registered to any geographic location.
Why does the location seem wrong?
Several factors affect accuracy: VPN or proxy usage shows server location instead of your real location. Mobile networks often route through distant data centers. Some ISPs register all IPs to their headquarters. The location shown is where the IP is registered to an ISP, not necessarily where the device is physically located.
What's the difference between IP Location and IP Lookup?
IP Location focuses on geographic visualization with a prominent interactive map, live local time, and country metadata (continent, currency, calling code). IP Lookup provides the same underlying data but emphasizes technical network details. Both use the same backend data sources.
What is the accuracy radius circle on the map?
The circle shows the estimated area where the IP is located, based on our geolocation database's confidence level. A smaller circle means higher accuracy. The radius typically ranges from 5-100km for city-level results.
What is the local time shown?
We detect the timezone from the IP's registered location and display the current local time there, updating every second in your browser. This is useful for understanding what time it is at a server's location or a website visitor's timezone.
How do you get continent, currency, and calling code?
We maintain a static JavaScript mapping of country codes to additional metadata for approximately 45 countries. This provides useful context about the country where the IP is registered that most tools don't include.
Can I link to a specific IP lookup?
Yes! After performing a lookup, the URL updates to include ?ip=X.X.X.X (for example, /ip-location?ip=8.8.8.8). You can copy this URL to share results or bookmark specific lookups for later.
What data sources do you use?
We combine 4 sources: MaxMind GeoLite2 databases for geolocation and ASN data (updated weekly), DNS reverse lookup for hostname, and ipwhois RDAP for organization details. This multi-source approach provides more complete data than single-source tools.
Do you store or log the IPs I look up?
No. We process lookups in real-time and do not log the IP addresses you query. Results are cached for 1 hour for performance but are not permanently stored. Your privacy is our priority.
Why doesn't a VPN show my real location?
When you use a VPN, your traffic exits through the VPN server's IP address. We can only see and geolocate that server's IP, not your actual location behind the VPN. This is by design—VPNs are meant to mask your real location.
Can I geolocate private IP addresses?
No. Private IP addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, and others) are only used within local networks and aren't registered to any geographic location in public databases. You'll see an error message if you try to locate a private IP.
