JPG, PNG or WebP. Change the date taken, location and more, one photo or many.
Your photos never leave this device
Drop or choose JPG, PNG or WebP photos, one or many. The editor shows what each photo holds now: date taken, time zone, location, author, copyright and description.
Type a new date, read it from the file name, use the file's modified date, or shift it by days, hours and minutes. Set the time zone if you know it.
Pick the place on a map, paste coordinates or a map link, or use your current location. You can also remove the location.
The before and after table shows every change. Download one photo, or all of them as a ZIP.
EXIF is the information a camera or phone saves inside a photo: when it was taken, where, with which camera and settings. This editor changes the parts people most often need to fix or add, and leaves the rest as the camera recorded it.
Date taken
The date and time the photo was taken, down to the second. Photo apps and Windows sort and label pictures by it.
Time zone
The offset from UTC that the time belongs to, such as UTC+01:00. Keep it, change it or remove it.
Shift by
Move dates earlier or later by days, hours and minutes, for a camera clock that was wrong or set to home time abroad.
From file name
WhatsApp, phone cameras and screenshots often put the date in the file name, even when the photo has lost its EXIF data.
Location
GPS latitude and longitude, set on a map, from coordinates or a map link, or from this device. Or remove it.
Author, copyright, description
Who took the photo, who owns it and what it shows, saved where photo apps and Windows look for them.
Many photos at once
Apply any change to the photo you're looking at or to all of them, then download a ZIP.
No quality loss
The picture isn't re-saved. Only the details stored with it change.
WhatsApp removes EXIF data from the photos it sends, and so do many social apps, so saved photos land at the wrong place in your gallery or timeline. Their file names often still hold the date. Select From file name and the editor reads these patterns:

WhatsApp's names hold the day but not the time, so those photos get noon, one second apart in the order WhatsApp numbered them. If a name has no date, From modified date uses the time the file was last saved on your device.
Select Pick on map and move the map until the pin sits on the place, or search for a place or address. On a phone, My location uses where you are now, which suits a photo you took on the spot.
You can also paste coordinates in any of the forms Google Maps accepts, such as 41.40338, 2.17403 or 41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E, or paste a Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap link. To copy coordinates from Google Maps on a computer, right-click the place: the latitude and longitude are at the top of the menu, and clicking them copies them. In the Android app, touch and hold the spot to drop a pin, and the coordinates appear in the search box. Short share links, such as maps.app.goo.gl, can't be read here; open the link first and copy the full address.

We checked edited photos in File Explorer on Windows 11. JPG and WebP files show the new date taken, author, copyright, title and GPS location. Three things are worth knowing:
The time is shown as written
Explorer's Date taken shows the time stored in the photo and ignores its time zone, so set the time you want people to see.
Date modified is the download time
It belongs to the file, not the photo. Download as a ZIP and, once unzipped, each photo's Date modified is its date taken. ZIP dates can't go before 1980.
PNG files
Windows doesn't read the EXIF block in a PNG, so the editor also saves the date, author and description where Windows does look. Windows doesn't show a PNG's location at all, though other apps can read it.
Many editors open a photo, change its details and save the picture again, which re-compresses a JPG. This one changes only the bytes that hold the details and copies the image data exactly as it was, so the photo looks the same and stays close to the same size.
Camera makers store extra details in a private block that other data points into, and moving anything can break it. The editor writes a new date into the space of the old one and adds anything new at the end, so camera details, the built-in thumbnail and color profiles keep working. When a photo also keeps its date, location or author in XMP or IPTC, as many photo editors do, those copies are changed too, so every app shows the same thing. A removed location is wiped from the file, not just hidden.
The date, time zone and GPS fields follow the Exif standard: CIPA DC-008, Exif 2.31.
HEIC and AVIF
Not yet. Convert to JPG first, or on an iPhone change the details in the Photos app.
Videos
Only photos. Video files keep their dates elsewhere.
Camera details
Camera model, lens and exposure settings are kept as they are.
Very full EXIF blocks
A JPEG can hold at most 64 KB of EXIF data. If adding a location would pass that, the editor says so instead of cutting anything off.
On an iPhone, the Photos app can change a photo's date, time and location: open the photo, tap the info button, then choose Adjust Date & Time or Adjust Location. Source: Apple iPhone User Guide, See photo and video information.
Your photos are read and saved in your browser and never uploaded, which matters for details as personal as where you live or where you were. Three features use the internet, and none of them sends a photo: the map loads its tiles from OpenStreetMap for the area you look at, a place search sends the words you type to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service, and My location asks your browser for your position, with your permission.
EXIF data isn't proof of when or where a photo was taken: anyone can change it, as this editor shows. Use it to fix and organize your own photos, not to mislead anyone. To share a photo without its location, use Remove Location from Photo, or Remove EXIF Data to strip everything.
Editing a copy instead of the original
A photo sent through a chat app has usually lost its camera details. If you still have the original, edit that.
Shifting the same photos twice
Shift adds to the date that's there now. Check the before and after table, and use Undo changes if you went too far.
Mixing up time zones
If photos from two cameras or phones don't line up, shift only the ones that are off, not all of them.
Expecting Date modified to change
That's the file's date on your computer. Download a ZIP to set it to the date taken.
Add the photo above, type the new date and time under Date taken, and download it. The date taken is stored in the photo's EXIF data, which photo apps and Windows read to sort and label pictures. Nothing else in the photo changes.
Yes. Add them all and choose All photos. You can set one date for every photo, read each photo's date from its file name, or shift every date by the same amount, which keeps them in the order they were taken.
Choose All photos, enter the time difference under Shift by, and select Earlier or Later. A camera left on home time abroad, or a clock that was never set, is fixed in one step.
WhatsApp removes EXIF data from photos it sends, so the date taken is gone. The file name, such as IMG-20230514-WA0007.jpg, still has the day. From file name puts it back, at noon, with the photos kept in WhatsApp's order.
Date modified belongs to the file on your computer, not to the photo, and a downloaded file gets the time you downloaded it. Download as a ZIP instead: when it's unzipped, each photo's Date modified is its date taken.
Under Location, select Pick on map and move the map until the pin is on the place, or paste coordinates or a Google Maps link, or use My location. The location is saved in the photo's GPS fields.
Select Remove location and download the photo. The GPS coordinates are removed, along with place names such as the city that some apps save with them. To only remove the location, Remove Location from Photo does it in one step.
No. The picture isn't opened and saved again. Only the details stored with it change, and the image data is copied exactly as it was.
JPG (including JFIF), PNG and WebP. HEIC and AVIF photos can't be edited yet. On an iPhone, the Photos app can change a photo's date, time and location itself.
No. Photos are read and saved in your browser. The map loads its tiles from OpenStreetMap, and a place search sends only the words you type, never your photos.
No. The editor changes when and where a photo was taken and who took it. Camera, lens and exposure details are kept as the camera recorded them.
No. As this editor shows, anyone can change it. Use it to fix and organize your own photos, not to mislead anyone about when or where a photo was taken.
Add a photo above, set the date and place, and download it with nothing else changed.
