How to Use the IP Address Lookup
Your public IP address is detected automatically on page load — no input needed. To look up any other IP, type it into the search bar and press Enter or click Look up. Results show geolocation, ISP, timezone with a live clock, and an approximate map. Click Copy IP to copy the address, Copy All for a full text summary, or Share to generate a link to this lookup.
About This Tool
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a network. Your public IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider and is visible to every server you connect to. This tool detects your public IP automatically and enriches it with geolocation data, ISP information, timezone, and a static map — all using the free ipapi.co API. You can also look up any IPv4 or IPv6 address to see who operates it and where it resolves geographically. IP geolocation is accurate to the city level for most addresses but is an estimate, not a precise location. For VPN users, the shown location reflects the VPN exit node. Reverse DNS lookups use Google's DNS-over-HTTPS service. Related: URL Encoder / Decoder for encoding data in URLs, Hash Generator for computing checksums.

|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.0/8 | Private (RFC 1918) | Large internal networks |
| 172.16.0.0/12 | Private (RFC 1918) | Medium internal networks |
| 192.168.0.0/16 | Private (RFC 1918) | Home and small office networks |
| 127.0.0.0/8 | Loopback | Refers to the local device itself |
| 169.254.0.0/16 | Link-local (APIPA) | Auto-assigned when no DHCP available |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can websites track my exact location from my IP?
No. IP addresses reveal approximate location at the city or region level — not your street address or precise GPS coordinates. Websites can see your city and ISP from your IP, but cannot determine your home address. Precise location requires GPS (which browsers ask permission for) or account data that you have explicitly provided.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 203.0.113.42), supporting about 4.3 billion unique addresses. The internet ran out of unallocated IPv4 space in 2011. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses in hexadecimal (e.g. 2001:db8::1), supporting 340 undecillion addresses — enough to assign billions of IPs to every person on Earth.
What does my ISP know about me from my IP address?
Your ISP assigned you your IP address and knows exactly which subscriber it belongs to — meaning they can link your IP to your account, your name, and your address. This information is not public and is only disclosed to authorities with a legal request. Other parties on the internet can only see the city-level geolocation and the ISP name.
How do I hide my IP address?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) routes your traffic through a server in another location, so websites see the VPN server's IP instead of yours. The Tor network provides stronger anonymity by routing traffic through multiple relays. Note that this tool will show the VPN or proxy server's IP address if you are using one — not your actual ISP-assigned IP.
Is the IP Address Lookup free, and what geolocation data does it expose?
Yes, the IP Address Lookup is free with no signup. It detects your public IP, approximate city-level location, ISP, and the country’s flag emoji using a free geolocation API. The lookup only reveals what any website you visit can already see — it does not provide street addresses or personally identifying information about the IP’s owner.
