8.8.8.8 · 1.1.1.1 · 2001:4860:4860::8888 | Leave blank → auto-detect via WebRTCWhether you're troubleshooting a network issue, verifying a VPN connection, or just curious what the internet sees when you connect, knowing your IP address — and what it reveals — matters. I7 Pixel's IP lookup gives you instant answers with zero external API calls.
From opening the page to reading your results in four simple steps.
A little background on how IP addresses work makes the results a lot more useful — and helps set realistic expectations about what a lookup can and can't tell you.
A public IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and typically maps to a general country or region — not a precise street address. Geolocation databases infer this location from how ISPs allocate address blocks, so accuracy is usually good at the country level and much rougher at the city level. An IP lookup will never reveal a person's name, exact home address, or device identity.
IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 — four numbers separated by dots, offering about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:4860:4860::8888 — eight groups of hexadecimal digits, designed to handle the internet's much larger modern address needs. Most home networks today use both simultaneously, with devices getting an IPv4 and an IPv6 address side by side.
If you're on a corporate network, mobile carrier, or VPN, your detected public IP reflects that provider's outbound gateway — not your device's local network address. This is normal: WebRTC STUN detection shows the address other servers on the internet actually see when you connect, which is the same address most websites and services would log.
Quick guide to the address types you might see in a lookup result.
| Type | Example | What it Means |
|---|---|---|
| Public IPv4 Common | 203.0.113.42 | Routable on the open internet; assigned by an ISP and geolocatable to a country/region |
| Public IPv6 | 2001:4860:4860::8888 | Next-generation address format; same public routing and geolocation properties as IPv4 |
| Private IPv4 | 192.168.x.x / 10.x.x.x | Reserved for local networks (home Wi-Fi, offices); not routable on the public internet |
| Loopback | 127.0.0.1 / ::1 | Always refers to the local device itself — used for local testing and diagnostics |
| Link-Local | 169.254.x.x / fe80:: | Auto-assigned when a device can't reach a DHCP server; valid only on the local segment |
| Reserved / Special-Use | 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255 | Set aside for specific protocol functions rather than general host addressing |
Knowing your own IP — or checking another one — comes up more often than you'd think. This tool covers every common scenario.
Answers to the most common questions about looking up IP addresses with this tool.
Yes — completely free. There are no limits, no accounts, no watermarks, and no charges. Look up as many IP addresses as you need.
No. Country and region data comes from an embedded database shipped with the page, so lookups resolve locally without calling any third-party geolocation service.
It uses the browser's built-in WebRTC STUN mechanism to discover your public-facing IP address directly, without routing the request through an external server.
Yes. You can look up both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and the tool correctly identifies which type you've entered.
Yes, you can paste any public IPv4 or IPv6 address into the search box to see its general country and region. This tool does not reveal a person's identity, exact location, or ISP account details.
No. All lookups happen client-side in your browser against the embedded database, so the IP addresses you search are never sent to or logged by a server.
