Mapillary Uploader
Mapillary Uploader is a desktop app for uploading geotagged photos and videos from action cameras, 360 cameras, and dashcams to Mapillary.
What is Mapillary Uploader?
Mapillary Uploader is a native desktop app that helps contributors send street-level imagery to the Mapillary platform in bulk. It is designed for people working with action cameras, 360° cameras, dashcams, and other capture setups that produce geotagged images or videos. On Mac, it provides a graphical workflow for dragging in files or folders, reviewing them on a map, and starting uploads without using command-line tools. The app can handle both images and videos, shows previews and EXIF details, and lets you inspect where captures were placed before you upload. It also supports adding a GPX track to videos and retrying failed uploads from upload history, which is useful for long or unreliable transfers.
Key features

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app’s behavior is consistent with its purpose: it needs access to local photo and video files, network connectivity to upload them, and account sign-in to send imagery to Mapillary. Because it handles location-rich media, the main privacy consideration is that uploaded files can contain GPS coordinates, timestamps, camera details, and visible surroundings. Review what you upload before sending it, especially if files include sensitive locations or identifiable activity.
Recommendation: Keep Mapillary Uploader if you actively contribute street-level imagery or manage uploads from dedicated cameras. If you no longer use Mapillary, you can remove the app to free space without affecting macOS, though you may want to keep any original media files you captured separately.
