### What does Oceanir do? Oceanir is a visual evidence verification tool for images and video frames. It helps analysts estimate where media may have been captured when metadata is missing, stripped, or unreliable. The tool provides ranked candidate locations, confidence scores, visual evidence notes, and contradiction signals. It’s useful for reviewing claims attached to images or video, especially when the analyst needs to understand whether the visual evidence supports the claimed location. **The lowdown:** It’s intended for location and evidence review, not people search, face recognition, or private individual tracking.
### How to Use: **1. Go to** [**https://oceanir.ai**](https://oceanir.ai) **or** [**https://app.oceanir.ai**](https://app.oceanir.ai) **and create or sign into an account. Alternatively, you can click ‘start free’ to start a free image search without an account (Note: Analysis of our image failed without an account).** **2. Upload an image or video frame and run a location verification. Review ranked candidate locations, confidence, evidence notes, and contradiction signals.** **3. Cross-check the result with Google Maps, Google Earth, Street View, Mapillary, KartaView, reverse image search, SunCalc, weather history, or other OSINT sources.** You can also export or document the result as part of a wider reporting or investigation workflow. ### Cost * [ ] Free * [x] Partially Free * [ ] Paid Oceanir has a free tier for basic use. Paid plans and credit packs are available for higher usage, team workflows, deeper analysis, and report/export features. ## Data Processing ### Account Required: * [x] Yes * [ ] No ### Cookies: Oceanir uses essential cookies for login, session security, authentication, CSRF protection, and user preferences. It may also use privacy-friendly analytics to understand basic product usage. For analysts, this means an account is required and uploaded media should be treated carefully. Sensitive or restricted material should only be uploaded when the user has the right and authority to process it. Users should review Oceanir’s privacy and cookie policies before using it in sensitive investigations. ### Use in Reporting Oceanir can support reporting and investigations where an image or video needs location verification. **Example uses:** * Checking whether a claimed location matches the visual evidence in an image or video. * Producing candidate locations when EXIF/GPS data is unavailable. * Reviewing visual clues such as roads, signs, architecture, terrain, vegetation, and scene layout. * Supporting journalism, OSINT, insurance review, legal evidence review, corporate security, and investigation workflows. * Documenting uncertainty instead of presenting a single guessed coordinate as proof. No public third-party case study is included here. Outputs should be independently corroborated before publication or operational use. | **Capabilities** | **Limitations** | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Image and video-frame location estimation. | Results are probabilistic and should not be treated as absolute proof. | | Ranked candidate location estimation. | Accuracy depends on image quality, resolution, uniqueness, and available visual clues. | | Confidence scoring. | Generic streets, interiors, rural scenes, low-light images, or heavily cropped media may produce weaker results. | | Visual evidence notes. | Outputs should be corroborated with independent sources. | | Contradiction signals. | Not intended for identifying/tracking private individuals. | | Works when EXIF/GPS metadata is missing. | Does not provide face recognition or biometric identification. | | Useful for location-claim verification and helps structure findings for human review. |


| ### Summary Oceanir is most useful during the image and video verification stage of an OSINT workflow. It helps analysts generate candidate locations and review supporting or conflicting visual evidence when EXIF/GPS data is missing. It’s best used alongside Google Maps, Google Earth, Street View, Mapillary, KartaView, reverse image search, SunCalc, weather history, and other OSINT tools. ### Ownership Oceanir is owned by Oceanir, Inc., founded by [Kanayochukwu Obiakor](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanayochukwu-obiakor-15a095385/). The company is based in the United States and builds visual evidence verification tools for image and video review, location context, and investigative workflows. ### Ethical Considerations * Do not use Oceanir to stalk, harass, dox, or track private individuals. * Avoid publishing precise locations if doing so could create harm. * Treat outputs as leads, not proof. * Corroborate results with independent evidence before publication. * Do not upload private, sensitive, or restricted media without proper authority. * Blur faces, license plates, homes, schools, and other sensitive details when sharing examples. * Be extra careful with cases involving minors, protests, conflict, disasters, crime, or vulnerable people. * Follow applicable laws, platform rules, newsroom standards, and data-protection requirements. ### Related Tools: * GeoSeer * [GeoSpy / Raven](/osint-tools/geospy.md) * [Picarta](/osint-tools/picarta.md) * Google Lens * Mapillary * SunCalc #### Sources *With thanks to Kanayochukwu Obiakor for submitting this tool to the OSINT Tool Library.* --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://tools.osintnewsletter.com/osint-tools/oceanir.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
