Change the 'Date Taken' on JPG Photos
Edit the date-taken field stored inside any JPG, one photo or thousands at once.
Windows, Google Photos, Apple Photos and almost every gallery app sort by the photo's 'date taken' — a field tucked inside the JPG's EXIF metadata. When that date is wrong, your photos land in the wrong place in the timeline.
Use this tool to set the date taken to exactly what you want. Add one JPG or a whole folder, choose the date and time, and download the corrected copies. It's free, private and runs in your browser with no upload.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 'date taken' field?
It's the EXIF DateTimeOriginal tag — the moment a camera says the photo was captured. Photo apps use it to sort and group your library.
Will Windows show the new date?
Yes. This writes the standard EXIF date tags, so Windows Explorer's 'Date taken' column and Google/Apple Photos all pick up the change.
