PRIVATE BROWSER PHOTO TOOL
Edit a Photo Timestamp Online
Wrong camera date? A photo saved with the wrong time? Use the timestamp editor to correct the date used for your visible stamp with Pro, then choose a font, format, and position. Start with the original photo: this tool cannot erase a timestamp already baked into the picture.
Open the timestamp editor →Compare the styles ↓Choose how your corrected timestamp will look
Compare eight date and time formats before editing. A month-first date may suit a US photo album; a year-first date makes the order clear across countries. These examples compare formats. In the editor, you can also preview the full font collection, with free choices and more styles marked Pro.
2026.10.27Family album
YYYY.MM.DDA short dotted date keeps a family memory easy to place without adding an unnecessary clock time.

YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ssInclude seconds when comparing a sequence. A visible caption is a label, not independent proof of when a photo was taken.

YYYY/MM/DDA year-first slash format is compact and keeps the year obvious when an image leaves its original album.

MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm AM/PMUse month-first order and a 12-hour clock for readers who expect familiar US date conventions.

DD/MM/YYYYChoose day-first order for an audience that reads dates this way. Keep the convention consistent across the whole collection.

YYYY年MM月DD日Written year, month and day markers make the order explicit for Chinese-language family albums and prints.

Open the editor and select the original JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or HEIF photo. Check the detected date in the preview: EXIF capture time is preferred, while file time is a fallback and may reflect when a copy was saved. With Pro, open the photo date editor under More editing options and enter the correct date and time. Apply the change to the selected photo, choose a timestamp format, and review the new caption before downloading. The result is a separate JPEG; your original file stays untouched.
Correct the date, not just its appearance
Changing a format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD changes how a date is displayed; it does not fix the underlying day or hour. If your camera clock was wrong, first correct the working date used by the stamp. If a photo has no capture metadata, use a date you can verify from your own records. A file modification date is not reliable proof of when the picture was taken. For an existing visible stamp, return to an unstamped original before creating the corrected copy.
Fix one photo or adjust a sequence
Pro includes both individual date edits and batch time adjustments. Use a single-photo edit when only one picture has the wrong date. Use a batch offset when a camera clock was consistently ahead or behind, so the spacing between photos is preserved. Check a few photos at the start and end of the sequence before exporting. Applying one identical date to every photo is a different action from shifting every timestamp by the same offset; choose the option that matches the mistake you are correcting.
Change the font and customize the date format
Open Timestamp font to compare all timestamp font styles using real timestamp samples. Pick a clear style for everyday photos or a more distinctive look for an album, then check the preview on your own image. The built-in date formats are free; Pro adds custom formats and the fonts marked Pro. In a custom pattern, YYYY is the year, MM the month, DD the day, HH the 24-hour clock, and mm the minutes. For a US date, choose MM/DD/YYYY. Include the time only when it helps tell the story.
Preview the correction and keep your original
Check the date, font, position, and margin together before saving. A longer date-and-time caption needs more room than a short date, especially near a face or a busy background. Free access lets you try the editor with up to five photos and download individual JPEGs at their original pixel dimensions with higher compression. Working-date corrections, custom formats, batch and ZIP exports are Pro features. Photo processing happens in your browser. The downloaded stamp is visible in the pixels; this is not an EXIF metadata repair tool. Keep the original so you can make another correction without stamping an already stamped image.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit a timestamp already printed on a photo?
The editor cannot erase or replace text already baked into image pixels. Use the unstamped original, correct the working date with Pro, and export a new timestamped copy. Adding another stamp to an already stamped image will not remove the old one.
Is the timestamp editor free?
You can upload up to five photos, preview built-in date formats and three free fonts, and download photos individually for free. Correcting the working date, using custom formats, choosing Pro fonts, and downloading a batch or ZIP require Pro.
Does changing the timestamp edit the original EXIF date?
No. Date edits change the working date used to draw the visible stamp in a new JPEG. The original file is unchanged, and the exported JPEG does not preserve all original metadata. Keep the original if you need its capture information.
Can I correct the time on several photos at once?
Yes. Pro offers batch time adjustments for a camera clock offset, as well as date edits for individual photos. Preview the corrected sequence before exporting; a shared offset and assigning the same date to every photo have different results.
Can I change the timestamp font and date order?
Yes. Compare timestamp font styles and choose a built-in date order such as MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD. Free fonts are available, and Pro unlocks the full collection. Pro custom formats let you combine date and time tokens with a short fixed label.
