Find the real location behind any IP address
Query three independent GeoIP databases at once and see where they agree. No account, no tracking cookies, no stored query history — just the location data.

IP geolocation is approximate. Results reflect the ISP or network's registered location — typically a city or region, never a precise street address.
How it works
Three databases, one answer
Most IP lookup tools show you a single database's guess. findiplocations.com queries several independent providers in parallel and lets you see where they agree — because city-level geolocation accuracy varies provider to provider, and consensus is more trustworthy than any single source.
Enter an address
Type any public IPv4 or IPv6 address, or leave the field blank to check the address you're currently browsing from.
Parallel lookup
A serverless function queries three independent GeoIP databases at the same time and returns whichever results come back successfully.
Compare results
Each engine's city, region, and ISP data is shown side by side, plus a live map of the consensus coordinates.
Is an IP address lookup private?
Yes — checking an IP address's location doesn't expose anything that isn't already visible to every website you visit. Your public IP is sent with every request you make on the internet; this tool simply reads back what a network already knows, without keeping a copy for itself.
Reference
IPv4 vs. IPv6: what's the difference?
Both are addressing systems that identify a device on the internet, but they differ in format, capacity, and age.
| Attribute | IPv4 | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Four decimal groups, e.g. 192.0.2.1 | Eight hexadecimal groups, e.g. 2001:db8::1 |
| Address length | 32-bit | 128-bit |
| Total addresses | ~4.3 billion | ~340 undecillion |
| Introduced | 1983 | 1998, wider adoption from the 2010s |
| Typical use today | Still the most common on home networks | Growing share of mobile and ISP traffic |
Why does it matter for a lookup tool?
Geolocation providers maintain separate mapping tables for IPv4 and IPv6 ranges, and IPv6 coverage tends to lag behind IPv4 for city-level accuracy. If an IPv6 lookup returns country-level data only, that's a data coverage gap at the provider level, not an error in the tool.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about IP lookups
How do I find the location of an IP address?
Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address into the search box above and press Analyze IP. The tool queries several independent geolocation databases at once and plots the resulting city-level location on the map. Leave the box blank to look up the address you're currently browsing from.
Is an IP lookup private and safe to use?
This tool doesn't store the IP addresses you search, doesn't use cookies to track visitors, and doesn't log queries to a database. Any public IP address is, by definition, already visible to every website you visit — this tool simply shows you what that address reveals.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers written as four decimal groups, such as 192.0.2.1, and support about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit numbers written in hexadecimal groups, such as 2001:db8::1, introduced because the world ran out of available IPv4 addresses.
Why do different IP lookup tools show different cities?
Each geolocation database builds its city-level estimate from a different mix of ISP records and routing data, updated on different schedules. Country-level results are usually consistent across providers, while city and region estimates can vary — especially for mobile, VPN, or corporate connections.
Can an IP address reveal my exact home address?
No. IP geolocation resolves to the location your ISP has registered for that address block — usually accurate to a city or region, not a specific street address.
Why does my IP address change over time?
Most home and mobile connections use dynamic IP addresses that your ISP can reassign whenever your router reconnects or your lease renews. Static IPs, which stay fixed, are typically reserved for business connections and servers.
