Set the Real Date on Scanned Photos
Give scanned prints their true date instead of the day you scanned them.
Scan a box of old prints and every file gets today's date — the day you scanned them — so decades of memories pile up under one date in your photo library.
This tool lets you set the true date on scanned photos. Do a batch from the same era at once (say, 'summer 1985'), set the date, and download them with a proper 'date taken' so they slot into your timeline where they belong. It all runs in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What date should I use for old scans?
Use the best date you know — even an approximate month or year is far better than the scan date for sorting. You can do each event or year as its own batch.
Will this work with my photo app's timeline?
Yes. Setting the EXIF date taken is exactly what Apple Photos, Google Photos and Windows use to place a photo in the timeline.
