Free change photo date tool.

Drop the JPEG onto the editor, type the new date and time, and click Apply. The browser updates the EXIF DateTimeOriginal tag and gives the file back to download. No upload, no signup. For multiple photos, drop a folder and pick Set mode (every photo gets the same date) or Shift mode (every photo's existing date moves by a fixed amount, useful when a camera's timezone was wrong).

Yes. Drop a folder or multi-select files. In Set mode the same date applies to every selected photo. In Shift mode every photo's original date moves by the same amount (e.g. +3 hours when a camera was on the wrong timezone). All photos download as a single ZIP, originals untouched.

Yes. EXIF is the metadata block JPEGs carry; the capture date lives there. Our tool reads the existing EXIF, writes the new date to DateTimeOriginal (and optionally DateTimeDigitized and DateTime), and re-saves the JPEG. Same operation as desktop EXIF date changers like ExifTool, but browser-based and free.

Three common reasons. One, scanned old photos arrive with the scan date instead of the actual capture date; you set the real one. Two, a camera or phone with the wrong timezone records every shot off by N hours; you shift the whole shoot at once. Three, organising photos for a project by giving every file a predictable date so they sort correctly in folders and photo libraries.

Yes. No accounts, no daily caps, no per-file size limit, no watermark, no upsell. The editor runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to ration.

No. The browser reads the EXIF, writes the new date, and hands the file back. Nothing uploads. Nothing is logged. Close the tab and the files are gone.

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.).

JPEG only. EXIF date writing is well-defined for JPEG. PNG doesn't carry EXIF dates in the traditional sense. HEIC needs to be converted to JPEG first; use the HEIC to JPEG converter on this site for a one-step pipeline, then drop the JPEG here.

DateTimeOriginal is always written (this is the field photo libraries read for 'when was this taken'). With 'Also update Created and Modified' on (the default), DateTimeDigitized and the 0th IFD's DateTime are also set. In Shift mode all three move together.

Yes, after re-import. Apple Photos and Lightroom both read DateTimeOriginal on import. Google Photos does the same on upload. If you've already imported the photo before editing, you may need to re-import or update the library's metadata index manually depending on the app.

No, and you shouldn't expect it to. EXIF editing is for legitimate use cases like organising 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.
