Put a Date and Time Stamp on Any Photo

This free timestamp editor stamps a date and time onto any picture, the way film and digital cameras used to burn it into the corner. Open a photo and the stamp appears immediately, drag it anywhere on the image, pick the format and size you like, and download at full resolution. The classic style recreates the warm orange digital digits of a 90s camera; the plain style gives a clean modern label that stays readable on any background.

The Real Capture Date, Read Automatically

If your photo is a JPEG straight from a camera or phone, the tool reads the actual capture date and time from the picture's own EXIF data and fills the stamp with it. That answers the classic problem of adding a timestamp to photos already taken: the date on the stamp is the date the shutter clicked, not the day you edited the file. When no camera data exists, the file's own date steps in, and either way you can change it freely.

Any Date, Any Format, Any Spot

The stamp is a plain text field prefilled with the photo's date, so you can type anything: another date, past or future, to correct a wrong camera clock, backdate a scanned print to the day it was shot, or label a batch of documentation photos consistently. Six formats cover day-first, month-first and ISO order, with or without the time. Drag the stamp to any corner or spot, size it with one slider, and pick any color; the retro orange is one tap away on the color picker.

Sharp at Full Resolution

The stamp is drawn onto your original pixels when you download, not onto the on-screen preview. Its position and size are stored as fractions of the image, so what you arranged in the editor lands in exactly the same place at 12 megapixels. PNG keeps everything lossless; JPG and WebP save at high quality with the stamp burned in.

Private by Design

The photo, its camera data and the stamped result never leave your device: reading the EXIF date, drawing the stamp and saving the file all happen in your browser. No upload, no signup, no watermark beyond the stamp you chose to add.

Frequently Asked Questions About Photo Timestamps

How do I add a date and time to a photo?

Open the photo and the timestamp appears on it immediately, filled with the picture's own capture date when it has one. Drag it where you want it, adjust the format, size and color, and press download. The stamped photo saves at full resolution.

Can I timestamp photos that were already taken?

Yes, that is the main use. For JPEGs from a camera or phone the tool reads the real capture date and time from the photo's EXIF data automatically, so the stamp shows when the picture was actually taken, even years later.

Can I change the date on the stamp?

Yes. The stamp is a plain text field prefilled with the photo's date, so you can type any date and time, past or future, or even your own wording. That covers fixing a wrong camera clock, labeling scanned prints with their original date, or any other correction you need.

Which timestamp styles are there?

Two: a retro camera style with the warm glowing orange digits that 90s cameras burned into the corner, and a plain modern style with a subtle dark outline that stays readable on bright and dark photos alike. Both take any color and size.

Is my photo uploaded when I add a timestamp?

No. The photo is opened in your browser, the EXIF date is read on your device, and the stamped image is saved straight back to it. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
