Free EXIF date editor.

Change the capture date on any JPEG. Set a specific date for scanned photos, or shift a whole shoot by a fixed amount when the camera timezone was wrong. Files never leave your device.

EXIF Date Editor

Drop JPEG photos to edit dates

JPEG only. We read the existing capture date from EXIF and let you set a new one, or shift many photos by a fixed amount (great for fixing a wrong camera timezone).

Two modes, both fast.

Set mode for a specific date. Shift mode for a fixed amount. Both work on a single photo or hundreds at once.

Set a specific date

Type a new capture date and time. Apply it to one photo or a whole batch in one click.

Shift by a fixed amount

Off by 3 hours because of a timezone error? Shift every photo by +3:00 in one pass.

All three date fields

DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized, and DateTime kept in sync. No half-edited EXIF that confuses other tools.

Live preview

See the new date next to the original for every file before you apply. Catch typos before you download.

Batch + ZIP

Drop ten photos, get ten dated JPEGs back as one ZIP. Originals never touched.

Files stay local

No upload, no signup, no logging. Editor runs in your browser.

Common questions about editing photo dates.

Why would I want to change a photo's date?
Two common reasons. First, scanned old photos arrive with the scan date instead of the actual capture date — you set the real one. Second, a camera or phone with the wrong timezone records every shot off by N hours — you shift the whole shoot at once. Less common but still useful: organizing photos for a project by giving every file a predictable date.
Is the editor really free? No watermark?
Yes. No accounts, no caps, no watermark, no upsell. The editor runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to ration.
Do my photos upload anywhere?
No. The browser reads the EXIF, writes the new date, and gives you the file back. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is logged. Close the tab and the files are gone.
What's the difference between Set and Shift modes?
Set mode applies the same date and time to every selected photo — useful for tagging a batch of scanned photos with a known date. Shift mode adds or subtracts a fixed amount from each photo's original date — useful when the camera clock was right relative to itself but off from real time (timezone, daylight-saving switch, etc.).
Which formats are supported?
JPEG only. EXIF date writing is well-defined for JPEG. PNG doesn't carry EXIF dates. HEIC needs to be converted to JPEG first — use the HEIC converter on this site for a one-step pipeline.
Which EXIF fields are updated?
DateTimeOriginal is always written. With 'Also update Created and Modified' on (the default), DateTimeDigitized and the 0th IFD's DateTime are also set. In Shift mode, all three are always updated together.
Will this hide that the photo was edited?
No — and you shouldn't expect it to. EXIF editing is for legitimate use cases like organizing your own photos. Forensic tools can often detect EXIF tampering. If you need a tamper-evident timestamp, use the iOS app to capture photos with atomic time, not after-the-fact editing.

Atomic time at the shutter. No after-the-fact fixes.

Camera timezones drift; phone clocks lie. The iOS app uses a network-synced atomic clock at the moment of capture, so the date and time written to every photo are correct from the start — and visible on the image so it survives every upload.
