About the IP Address Lookup
Every device on the internet has an IP address, and that address can reveal a surprising amount — the approximate city, the internet provider, the time zone. This IP Address Lookup takes an IP (or your own, at the click of a button) and returns its geolocation and network details.
Developers use it to check where a server or visitor is located, support teams use it to verify a user's region, and the curious use it to see what their own connection reveals. It reports the city, region, and country, the ISP or organization behind the address, the time zone, the approximate latitude and longitude, and the postal code.
One thing to know: the lookup is performed by the ipapi.co service, so the IP address you enter is sent to that third party to be resolved.
How to Use the IP Address Lookup
- Enter an IP address (or a domain) in the input, or click "My IP" to use your own.
- Click Lookup.
- Read the location, ISP, time zone, coordinates, and postal code returned for that address.
- Copy the full result if you need to record or share it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
It is usually accurate to the city or region level, but not to a precise street address. IP location is derived from databases mapping address ranges to areas, so results can be off, especially for mobile networks, VPNs, or corporate connections that route through distant data centers.
Can someone find my exact home address from my IP?
No. An IP reveals an approximate area and your internet provider, not your street address or identity. Only your ISP can link an address to a subscriber, and that requires legal process — so the location shown here is deliberately coarse.
Is my IP address kept private?
The lookup sends the IP you enter to the ipapi.co geolocation service to retrieve its data, so it is not a purely on-device operation. The tool itself does not store your queries, but the address does leave your browser to be resolved.
Why does my location look wrong?
If you use a VPN or proxy, the lookup reflects that server's location, not yours. Even without one, the underlying database may place you in a nearby city or your ISP's regional hub rather than your actual town.
