Find the approximate location, ISP, and timezone for any IP address using public geolocation data.

IP Address (leave blank for your IP)

Frequently Asked Questions

IP geolocation is typically accurate to the country level (99%+) and city level (50–80%). It cannot pinpoint an exact street address.

Yes — leave the field blank and click 'Look Up' to see information about your current IP address.

VPNs, proxies, and corporate networks can make an IP appear in a different location than your physical location.

ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies a network operated by an ISP or large organization on the internet.

About this calculator

Enter an IP address and see the approximate city, region, country, ISP and timezone from public geolocation data.

IP lookups are approximate and are useful for network troubleshooting and curiosity, not for pinpointing anyone.

How to use it

Press the lookup button (or enter an IP).
Wait a moment while the result loads.
Read the address and location details.

What the result means

Every device on the internet appears with an IP address. IP geolocation maps that address to an approximate place using databases built from registry data, ISP records and network measurements. It is usually accurate to the country level (95%+), less so to the city, and often only identifies the ISP's regional hub. VPNs, mobile networks and corporate proxies show the location of the exit point, not the user. An IP address does not identify a person or an exact street address. Lookups send the address to a third-party geolocation service.

Tips and common mistakes

IP geolocation is approximate; do not use it as proof of location.
Your IP can change when you reconnect or move networks.
A VPN replaces your visible IP with the VPN server's.
Mobile networks often show the carrier's central location.
Don't publish your IP in public posts if you want privacy.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IP address?

A number that identifies a device or network on the internet.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Country-level is usually right; city-level often is not.

No, only the ISP and approximate area.

Why does my location look wrong?

Your ISP's routing or a VPN.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 is 32-bit; IPv6 is 128-bit.

Does the lookup send data elsewhere?

Yes, the IP is sent to a public geolocation service to get the result.
