Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for geographically locating images. For example, images from different sources may be associated with different types of location information or simply none at all. In order to reduce inconsistency among images, location information may be gathered for an image using bitmap processing, metadata processing, and information retrieved from where the image was found. This location information can be filtered to remove less reliable or conflicting information. Images may be clustered based on their appearance on an interactive online resource that corresponds to a user-defined event, based on image similarity, and by their appearance in a user photo album. The location information of the images of a cluster is then copied to all of the other images of that cluster.
